Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that it is already 2009. As I look back and reflect upon 2008, I am forever grateful for what the Lord has done in our lives at Goodwill. Here’s a partial list of the highlights from last year – “Dad, the Family Shepherd,” 60 Week Sacrifice, Baptism Service, Seder Dinner, Easter Services, Couples Conference, Choir performing at Carnegie Hall, Graduation Banquet, Israel Trip, VBS, Goodwill hosting the Presbytery, Women’s Conference, Senior Saints Banquet, Operation Christmas Child, Christmas Dinner Party, Christmas services, and the Christmas Cantata. We have witnessed God alive and active in our midst as we have seen Him deliver us from many impossible situations. As you can see, 2008 was an amazing year. As I look ahead to the New Year, I’m excited about what God has in store for us. For one thing, we are expected to complete the new building. This will bring many opportunities for us to advance the gospel. We will be starting up community-oriented ministries such as Angel Food Ministries. I believe that prayer is and needs to be the foundation of our ministry. There are many different ways you can pray at Goodwill Church. We have the prayer room available on Saturdays and Sundays. You can ask an elder to pray for you. We have the Wednesday Prayer Service. And lastly, you can join a small group, where prayer is a central component. As you plan and make resolutions for 2009, would you make room for prayer?
