As we consider the goals and hopes we have for

the new year we may be optimistic or pessimistic

that they will be realized, but the God who created

us has His own goals for us and offers us a hope

that we can depend on. One of His goals is that we

come into a secure, unconditionally loving relationship with Him

as His child. If our hearts are ready He will call us into that kind

of relationship with Him. Such a relationship enables us to face

2013 with hope. Join with us today in celebration as we ring in the

new year with our annual combined.
