BODY NEWS

2025 THEME

The Bible is very clear about the soon return of the Lord. While we do not know the day or hour, we do know Jesus’ sermon telling  believers to be always ready. That means we live our lives as if Jesus is  coming back today. If today were that day, would you be ready?

FROM PASTOR JEFF AND ANNA

As the year 2024 comes to a close we thank all of you who have ministered alongside us through all the good times, hard times and challenging times.  To those who have suffered loss of loved ones and of health, we are thankful with you that the Lord was and is with you every step of the way. We thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord as you ministered in various ministries, the behind-the-scenes that nobody sees – but the Lord sees – and your faithfulness to giving unto the Lord in your tithes and offerings.  With the New Year 2025 upon us, we pray the Lord’s greatest blessings to you and your family in health and finances but most of all we pray the Lord’s greatest spiritual blessings to you!  May this be your best year Spiritually that you have ever had!  Until the Lord returns, we continue to ‘run the race’ to hear the words from our Lord and Savior, ‘Well done thy good and faithful servant.’  May the flame of our first love for Jesus be ignited in our spirits this year and that we see the greatest move of God in our church family, our families and each of us individually in 2025!  God is not finished!  To God be All the Glory! We Love You
