Pastoral Salutations and Greetings
► Happy Sabbath saints, we thank the Almighty God for extending His Grace and mercy toward us in allowing us to see another year, and with this in mind I say Happy New Year to everyone!!! As we look back over 2021 we can all say with certainty, God's mercy kept us!
for its a year that was fraught with many peculiar challenges but through it all God had been faithful and through Him we had gained many victories.
As we go into 2022, into the unknow, let us remember that we have nothing to fear for the future unless we forget where God has led us in the past. I am confident that the same God who had been with us in 2021 will continue to be with us in 2022 even as we navigate the path throughout the year ahead. I encourage you to be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. I emplore you to anchor yourself deeper in the Lord and set your eyes on the prize before us. May the Almighty God give you all that it takes to live and witness for Him this year. Kindly remember to enroll someone in the Happy and Healthy Bible series as we continue to work towards breaking the evangelistic glass ceiling and the upcoming Campaign with Pastor Glen Samuels starting January 15th. Lets keep each other before the Lord and may today serves to draw us closer to the Lord and gives us a fresh concept of His holiness and grandure.
Be blessed!
