Pastor`s Corner

Dear Church Family,

 

Once again we stand at the beginning of a brand new year.  How often have you asked:  “What will this new year bring us?”  That is, of course, in God’s hands.  Here is a new years resolution we can do:  “A deeper walk with God”.  Here is a first step:  Maybe you have never had a personal bible reading plan, this would be a good first step to a deeper walk in 2009.  Use the sheet provided to keep track of your progress.  Let’s start with the New Testament, if you read only one chapter a day, it will take you 260 days to finish, if you read 2 chapters a day, it will take you only 130 days to finish the New Testament.  What a great beginning to a deeper walk with God.

 

Your Pastor Reinhold
