Welcome to 2017! To you, it might be just another year in your life. Well, God is here to tell us that it can be a year of fresh starts, through a relationship with God and faith-filled people who can give you new energy, new hope, and brighter visions. Whatever is frustrating, filled with loss, and seemingly hopeless, God is ready to plunge us into a fresh new outlook on life - and eternal life.
Recently, our church remembered of our baptism vows in our Sunday worship. Just like Jesus went to the Jordan River for John's baptism to confirm God's promises for salvation to the world, we put everything that should be dead in our life behind us, and allowed God's waters to wash over us for a new start. We are offered one baptism from God for the forgiveness of sins, but God encourages us to reconnect with God's baptism promises whenever we need it.
Are YOU ready for a new start this year? If you're new to our church, we welcome you, your friends, and your family to experience a church community that is deeply committed to helping people experience the God who never gives up on us. We don't force any ideas or commitments on you - we offer you the love of God freely and willingly, and invite you to experience what it's like to be a part of a community of Christians dedicated to second chances.
Are you already a member of our church community? We remind you to rejoice in the renewal of your baptism, and to keep it holy by offering God's love to everyone in our community who needs it. Let everyone know who much our church excites you. Get involved in our mission projects. Wear your church name tag around town when you shop. Invite people who need to be touched by God into God's presence in our worship services.
Everyone in our community needs and deserves a fresh start. We hope that we can find it together, with God's help!
