As we embark on the journey of 2024, I invite each one of you to join hands in our collective pursuit of spiritual growth. This year, our focus is centered on "Virtuous Living: A Year of Spiritual Growth," guided by the profound teachings of 2 Peter 1:5-7 (NASB):
"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. "
This scripture serves as a roadmap for our shared journey, urging us to cultivate virtues that bring us closer to God and strengthen the bonds within our community.
Throughout the year, we will draw inspiration from various biblical verses, each offering unique insights into aspects of our spiritual lives. These verses will guide us on the path of love, patience, kindness, humility, compassion, forgiveness, faithfulness, joy, gentleness, peace, self-control, and gratitude.
Let us cherish these values as we navigate the challenges and joys of life together. May this year be marked not only by personal growth but also by the deepening of our connections with one another and with the divine. With heartfelt blessings and anticipation, I cannot wait to see what God is going to do in the life of the church and in each one of your lives.
In Christ,
Pastor Samuel Bailey Wilson, III
