A Season of Reflection and Renewal
As 2024 draws to a close, we find ourselves once again in a season of reflection and renewal.
December, a month filled with
festive cheer and anticipation, also offers us a moment to pause, to look back on the year that has passed, and to look forward to the year ahead.
Looking Back with Gratitude
As we reflect on the past year, let us remember the many blessings we have received. Let us give thanks for the moments of joy, the challenges that have strengthened us, and the lessons we have learned. Let us also remember
those who have been a part of our journey, those who have supported us, encouraged us, and loved us. Consider sending them a written note of appreciation.
Embracing the Spirit of Christmas
December is also the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and his promised return. As we prepare for Christmas, let us embrace the spirit of love, compassion, and forgiveness that Jesus taught us. Let us reach out to those in need, share our blessings with others, and spread the light of Christ in Maysville.
Looking Forward with Hope
As we look ahead to the new year, let us do so with hope and optimism. Let us set goals for our- selves, both personally and spiritually. Let us strive to grow in our faith, to deepen our relationship with God, and to serve others with a joyful heart. Let us embrace the opportunities that the new year will bring, and let us face the challenges with courage and determination.
God is good, in Him all things are possible. (Mark 10:27)
A Message of Peace and Joy
As your pastor, I wish you all a blessed and joyful Advent and Christmas. May
the peace of Christ be with you always. May the love of God fill your hearts with joy. And may the hope of the new year inspire you to live your lives to the fullest.
Remember, we are not alone on this journey. We are a community of faith, united in our love for God and for one another. Let us support each other, encourage each other, and pray for each
other as we journey together through this season of reflection and renewal. May God bless us all abundantly in 2025.
In Faith and Fellowship,
Pastor Jim

What happens if I am in the hospital?
It is important to note that due to HIPPA laws, hospitals will not inform the church of your hospitalization or share any relevant details. We rely on you to let us know when you or a loved one is hospitalized. Know that we will always respect your desire for privacy and confidentiality. Perhaps you want Pastor Jim to know of your hospitalization but do not want to appear on the prayer list--that's okay! Others might prefer to have their hospitalization noted in the Sunday bulletin, inviting the prayers of the congregation. Please do not hesitate to inform the office (606.564.3639) of your wishes, whatever they might be. As the body of Christ, we rejoice in the opportunity to care for one another.
