Annual Report 2021

Re.: Annual Report to the Congregation
One of my favorite Psalms begins with this challenge: Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits (Ps. 103:2). The Psalmist goes on to list the many ways God saves and provides. God is quick to forgive and acts with compassion, but he also corrects those he loves. God doesn’t observe from a distance. He works through his people to bring justice and help to those in need. The picture that’s painted is that of a good God who is living and active in the world.
What a great truth… and we’ve certainly experienced the goodness of God this year! Let’s take a few minutes to praise the Lord.
Spiritual Growth
This has been a good year for spiritual growth. In spite of the stress of COVID-19, we found a way to worship and study and grow with God. Be sure to give Alex Jennings and our tech team a big thanks for bringing us up to speed with live streaming and Zoom connections.
As we move into the new “church year”, what will you do to draw near to God? Will you return to Sunday school or join one of our other discipleship groups? Will you devote yourself to prayer and help us discern “next steps” for the Church? Will you say “yes” to whatever God has placed on your heart?
Praise the Lord, for working in us to make us more like Jesus!
Local Ministries
We didn’t plan for any of the new ministries that sprung up this year. We simply said “yes” to whatever we sensed would please the Lord.
God challenges us to “Love your neighbors as yourself”. How will YOU share the love (and help) of Jesus this coming “year”? Join me in praying about the “new thing” God would do through us next.
Other Really Neat Stuff
Looking Ahead
God has born a lot of “good fruit” through us in recent years, but it’s time to ask, “what's next”. I plan to take the church board through a thorough mission and vision review this summer… pray with us as we evaluate our purpose as a church.
The temptation is to do what we want or what we think we can afford. I hope this last year has proven that God will provide whatever is lacking… that our real job is to find our place in what God wants to do.
We also have several new ministry directors. When they ask for help, give it. Decide now to get involved so what God dreams for our fellowship can become reality.
Thanks for another good year. God is moving. His influence is increasing. We are very blessed.
