Contributed by Jason Zahn on Jan 2, 2002

Even in tumultuous times God’s people have every reason to offer a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God for all of the gifts he pours out on us daily!

Vision For A New Year

Contributed by Charles Wilkerson on Dec 29, 2006

What does the dedication of Jesus have to say to us about our New Year

If you were here early, you might have wondered at the music playing. After all, you don’t often have hymns combined with 1960’s pop music. They were chosen because of their theme.
