Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy New Year! What now? We celebrated Christmas, New Year’s, and Epiphany; everyone is back home and the decorations are put away, or will be shortly, so where do we go from here? Ash Wednesday isn’t for another 4 weeks or so. It seems like a strange transition period before being plunged into Lent. Are you making resolutions and sticking with them, or is it business as usual, like last year?
I’m using this Epiphany season to contemplate the continuation of the story of Christ for my salvation and his desire to draw a world of sinners to himself. We know he does that through his substitutionary work on the cross which we’ll celebrate soon enough, and Lord willing with a beautiful new sanctuary, completed! For now, as the new year begins to unfold, I am focusing on this wonderful life that God has given to me. Year in and year out, each one is different, but God faithfulness to me, to you, and to his promises remain true and we see that unfold in the life of Christ and the time of the church that we follow in the church year. It’s a huge blessing to think about.
Here’s an article I’d like to share with you that expounds on some of my thoughts. It’s an explanation of the Christmas movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the tale of a Christian life.

The peace of Christ be yours this New Year and always!
