E-Blast Friday, December 29, 2023

"This is a day of new beginnings

time to remember and move on,

time to believe what love is bringing

laying to rest the pain that's gone...

 

For by the life and death of Jesus

God's mighty Spirit now as then

can make for us a world of difference

as faith and hope are born again

 

Christ is alive and goes before us 

To show and share what love can do

This is a day of new beginnings

Our God is making all things new!"

 

UMH 383, Words by Brian Wren
