Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

January 10, 2020

Be Encouraged by God's Word
The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The Lord is our righteousness.”
 

  - Jeremiah 23:5-6, NRSV

 
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims 
When the carols have been stilled,
When the star-topped tree is taken down,
When family and friends are gone home,
When we are back to our schedules
The work of Christmas begins:
   To welcome the refugee,
   To heal a broken planet,
   To feed the hungry,
   To build bridges of trust, not walls of fear,
   To share our gifts,
   To seek justice and peace for all people,
   To bring Christ’s light to the world.

Pray Together with Us

I believe that I enter a glorious new year to be filled with prayer and praise.
With service to God and mankind, with inspired creative activity.
I believe that God’s presence goes with me wherever I shall go this year, by train or Ires or car or boat, slowly paced on foot, or high in air.
I believe his love is shining in my body, his wisdom guides my mind, his peace fills me with poise, his strength is ever at my call.
Oh I believe that this is God’s new year.

 Elizabeth Searle Lamb
