Happy New Year 2023

Dear friends of Jesus and Dear friends of mine,

Happy New Year 2023 and a Blessed Epiphany!

Blessed be God the Father Almighty, Jesus Christ His Son our Savior, and the Holy Spirit! I am excited for the things God will reveal in 2023. I am blessed with the support from our church members and this community as we continue to transition from the leadership of The Dominator, Pastor Puls. This New Year I encourage you to get into some routines that will last through the year. What an excellent time to begin a oneyear reading of the entire Bible. How about committing to weekly church attendance? Daily devotionals are a great way to start each day. We have Portals of Prayer booklets available quarterly here at Grace, Bishop. Volunteering within the community is a great way to share your God given talents. Tithing regularly is another way to support churches and impact the community.

Whatever the element you are adding to your 2023 routine, keep your eyes on the Lord your God. Give praise for the abundance of daily bread provided to each and every one of us by our Creator no matter your beliefs. Shout for joy to the Lord! Know that the Lord is God! Psalm 100

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his[a];

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Firmly in His Grip

–
