Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
For I am about to create new heavens
    and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered
    or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever
    in what I am creating;
for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy,
    and its people as a delight.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
    and delight in my people;
no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it,
    or the cry of distress.

- Isaiah 65:17-19, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life.

- C. S. Lewis

Pray Together with Us

To God the Father, who first loved us
and made us accepted in the Beloved:
To God the Son, who loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood:
To God the Holy Ghost, who sheds the love of God abroad in our hearts,
Be all love and all glory,
From time and for eternity.

- Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711)
