Welcome and Merry Christmas! We are halfway through our celebration of Christmas, and a brand new year is upon us yet again. The birth of Jesus signals a turning point in history, a new beginning of sorts. Similarly, the New Year prompts us to reflect on the pass and thank the Lord for his many blessings he has bestowed upon us in this past year. It is also a time for new beginnings. How fitting that the new year should fall just days after we celebrate the birth of Jesus!
As we rapidly approach the end of another year, we as a staff are praying and seeking the Lord’s will for the year that will soon be upon us.
Setting a budget for our church means that we take the time to evaluate the programs that we have been running, explore new possibilities, and talk with our finance people about what it will take to accomplish our goals in the new year.
Enclosed you will find your Church giving report for the past year of (YEAR). We want to thank you so much for your generous support.

I realize those words may ring a bit “hollow” as you face the start of a New Year following your divorce in the past year.
It is so easy for others to say “it's time to move on”, yet for those who have walked the difficult path of divorce, it really is never that easy as memories cloud our vision of the future.
A new year speaks of new beginnings, new dreams and hope for tomorrow. These all may be things that are still on the horizon, but the horizon seems to be covered over with gray clouds.
