When the calendar turns and a new year stretches out before us, we’re reminded that time is a gift—and how we use it matters.

A new series began with Grit, launching with Week 1: No Time to Waste. Together, we leaned into the reality that we all have the same amount of time each day, yet how we choose to spend it reveals what we value most. Through Scripture, we were challenged to consider God’s rhythm of work and rest and how living with intention shapes our faith.

As we reflected on Jesus’ teachings and shared in communion, we were reminded to stay ready, faithful and grounded in what truly lasts. At the start of a new year, we were invited to live with grit—using our time wisely, resting well and trusting God with every moment we’ve been given.
