Bi Monthly Infographic Message for 

January 10th, 2025!

Introit:

Priest God from whom all blessings flow,

Praise Him all creatures here below,

Praise His above ye heavenly Host,

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Opening Hymn:

"Great is Thy Faithfulness!"

Great is Thy faithfulness,

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not,

As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Amen!

Philippians 3:13-14.

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead."

Devotion:

As we begin this new year, let's reflect on Paul's words. What are the things that are holding you back from moving forward? What are your goals and aspirations for this year? Take a moment to pray and ask God to help you forget what's behind and strain towards what's ahead.

Closing Hymn: 

"What a Friend We Have in Jesus!" 

Stanza 1. 

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry,

Everything to God in prayer.

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry,

Everything to God in prayer!

Stanza 3:

Are we weak and heavy ladden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Jesus only is our refuge;

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do they friends despise, forsake thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there,

Amen.

Doxology:

Let us with a gladsome mind,

Praise the Lord for He is kind,

For His mercy shall endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure....,

Amen.

Final Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of a new year. Help us to leave the past behind and focus on the future You have planned for us. Give us the strength and courage to pursue our goals and aspirations, and may Your presence guide us every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
