Dearly Beloved,
Blessings to each of you in this New Year! Part of my invitation for this New Year is to practice gratitude and celebration.
And I have much to be thankful for! Thank you all so much for your cards, notes, gifts, prayers and the incredibly generous Love Gift! Again and again and again, I am amazed by your generosity. Thank you!
I also want to celebrate what a meaningful Advent and Christmas season it's been. Nikki and I were reflecting together on just how special it felt, how full of meaning, expectation and joy.
So some thank you's and celebrations:
I'm sure I'm missing something in there, but my goodness -- what a lot to celebrate! And so very much to be thankful for!
This Sunday, Sara Gardner will share about what it's meant for her to go "home by another way" this past year. Heather, Troy, Parker and Jeremy will offer a bell quartet. AND we will have our new nursery worker.
In this New Year, may you find much for which to be grateful! Much to celebrate! May you see the resilience, courage, hope, love and faith that brought you through! And may Christ's light shine for all of us,
In love and peace,
Thandiwe
