Transcription

1 1 Thessalonians 5:16 18 Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God s will for you in Christ Jesus. The Noticeboard A Message From Mr Lainson Psalm 97:12 challenges us to rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name. Sometimes as the year winds up and we get caught up in end of year celebrations and the busyness of life we fail to stop and acknowledge the majesty and greatness of our God. He is our creator, sustainer, Lord and King and worthy of our praise. Lets recognize and celebrate God s goodness to us in all things and especially in Christ.
