that will help us fulfill our calling as a church. The unique thing

about a church is that it isn’t an organization or a building. Instead,

it is a family made up of regular people saved by the power of God. 

While all of us have day-in and day-out tasks that require our

attention, we have to make sure that these don’t hijack our priority

list or monopolize our attention.  In everything we do, we are

Christians first.  And because of that, wherever we go, we represent

Jesus.  How can Hope be a force that offers hope to those around us who

need it?  How can we reflect the goodness and greatness of our Savior

this year?  It’s simpler than you think.  We’ll look at a few things

that you already know and take some time to ask the Lord to help us make

sure these things don’t slip away from us this year.
