Year End Recap
Our first year as Global Methodist
We will not publish a newsletter next week, so let me say Merry Christmas to all of you. It has been a great year at Christ Church.
We have accomplished much during our first year as a Global Methodist Congregation. We have sponsored many mission opportunities in our community and fostered the development of Christian learning through the Covenant Community Preschool and the YMCA after-school programs. Accomplished many repair, upgrade, and maintenance projects at the church and parsonage. We have donated funds to the recovery of the Mountains after Helene and are working on an opportunity to go to the mountains for a hands-on mission project next year. We have had wonderful worship this year and even got to host the Russian Methodist delegation that will hopefully join the Global Methodist Church this coming year.
God has been faithful to us, and we give Him the glory for all He has done among us. We have done our best to be loyal and faithful to Him and pray for His blessings in the New Year.
I pray that each of your 2025 endeavors pleases God and goes well for you. May He Bless you and keep you going and coming in the remainder of this year and the next.
Amen!
