As we reach the last day of 2017, our thoughts inevitably turn also to 2018, the year ahead.
We like to celebrate the start of a new year by joining together to celebrate and have a party, so tomorrow at 4 p.m. we will be gathering in church to enjoy food, fellowship, party games and fun. The parcel has been wrapped; there’ll be lots of silly games, and we can enjoy each other’s company, knowing that we are joined together as members of God’s family through all He has done for us!
We pray this new year will be a time of blessing and spiritual growth, individually and corporately. We are looking forward to joining with other local churches in prayer meetings (the first one will be on Tuesday 9th January at 10.30 a.m. at the Salvation Army), outreach events (the Dinosaur Day at Phoenix Park on 15th April will be great fun and we are looking to hold a joint event on Good Friday too) and are also eagerly anticipating a church wedding in September 2018. Let’s commit to seeking God together in 2018 and to serving Him in different areas to see His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We can be those miracle makers Mark spoke about this morning as we allow God to transform all we give Him into something far beyond our wildest dreams.
