Dear Beloved Church Family,
Happy New Year! As we step into this fresh calendar year, I want to extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt gratitude to each of you. The dawn of January always seems to bring with it a renewed sense of hope, fresh beginnings, and the gentle reminder that God's mercies are indeed new every morning.
As we look back on the past year, we can see the faithful hand of God guiding and sustaining us. We have navigated challenges and celebrated joys together—sharing in one another's burdens and lifting each other up through prayer, fellowship, and acts of service. We have watched children grow in faith, and deepened our collective commitment to serve both our community and the world beyond our doors. In all of this, God's grace has been evident.
Moving forward into this new season, let us enter January with hearts wide open. I encourage you to approach this month—and this year—with a spirit of expectation. There are new opportunities awaiting us. As a church, we will continue to seek God's guidance on how to love our neighbors better, support one another more fully, and live more deeply into the radical hospitality and compassion that Jesus models for us.
This January, let our prayers be both humble and bold. Let us ask God for the courage to step into the unknown, the wisdom to discern God's voice, and the willingness to be transformed. Above all, let's commit ourselves to nurturing our relationships, not only with the Lord but also with one another, so that our congregation may shine as a beacon of hope and love in a world hungry for both.
May the peace and presence of Christ fill your hearts and homes this month. I look forward to the journey ahead, trusting that God will continue to shape and strengthen us as we seek to honor Him in all that we do.
In Christ's Love and Service,
Rev. Dale Min, senior pastor
