2025 is our Year of GROWTH
Ephesians 4:15-16 New Living Translation
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
Each day, we invite you to set aside a moment to lift up specific requests related to individual spiritual maturity and our church growth, knowing that God will hear and answer. It’s not just a list of requests; it is a collective call to seek God’s wisdom, guidance, and blessings for every aspect of our lives and our church.
