Dear Family and Friends, January 2025
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3: 22-23 (NLT)
What a blessing to know that each day of the new year is a fresh start, filled with God’s unfailing love and mercy! During the wintry days of January, taking time to thank God for the many blessings we receive each day is a powerful reminder of God’s love. During the Christmas season, we are reminded that God wants to be with his people. God created us with this loving relationship in mind. Immanuel, God with us-at all times. God’s presence with us is an eternal blessing. Our Savior has promised to never leave us. How blessed we are to live in the Light of our Lord’s presence!
Thank you, dear Minetto Church Family, for the gracious gift you gave to me and Joe this Christmas. Our hearts are deeply touched with your love and generosity. We count it a privilege to share God’s ministry of love and grace with you, as we continue to reach out and care for our neighbors with Jesus’ love. The ministries of the Minetto UMC continue to bless the hearts and lives of many within our church family, our community and our world. Joe and I are grateful for God’s grace, to join with you in sharing God’s abundant love. You are a blessing to us! We thank God for you!
As we enter 2025, we pray, “Love and Joy come to you! May God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, God send you a Happy New Year!"
Pastor Maureen and Joe Berson
