I always appreciate nice comments about a message or service, and I was blessed when one of the women in our church said that this message was "exactly what I needed to hear." I spoke today on "Resolving to Have a Happy New Year," going from Ephesians 5:15-17, invited people to keep an eye on the time, make the most of opportunities, and know what God wants them to do. A fitting message for a new year. I can hardly believe it is 2006! At some point, I will do a "year in review:2005" - I am excited about what this year brings.
We did a combined service again today, but I think the snow kept some away. We had close to 100, but many people were missing - still in holiday mode! :)
Today was an important day for two reasons:
1) we handed out the preliminary copies of our first church constitution. This document will define who we are and what we do for years to come, and I am excited to get it solidified.
2) Bill Gaudet, our new worship minister, took a small step toward leading today and did a good job. I am working to transition that ministry over to him completely by the end of January, and I think that will happen without a hitch.
Good stuff to begin a good new year. Next week we begin a sermon series from Ephesians, starting our year of walking in the truth. I appreciate your prayers in regards to my preparation and delivery of these messages.
