Dear Parish Family, Ecclesiastes tells us “There is a time for everything and the new year leads us to fresh starts.” The new year reminds us of new life, hope and opportunity. We know that a new season is a testimony of God’s grace. Things can be renewed, even in our fallen world, hope for change exists! This is a time to hit the reset button, and let go of sorrows, for new or refreshed plans, seek new friendships and nn some cases rekindle those things we have let slide. With purpose and gratefulness, we need to thank God for this opportunity to reflect, create and change. My prayer is for 2024 to be filled with peace, prosperity, and love. May God’s blessings shower upon you and bring you a bright and healthy new year, as we place Our trust in God who holds the world in his hands. (Psalm 103:14). Happy New Year! Mary Jo
