Minister's Message – December 2025/January 2026

Dear Christian Friends, Happy New Year!

As we welcome 2026, we stand at the threshold of a new journey, one filled with promise, purpose, and God’s unfailing presence. A new year is not simply a change of date; it is an invitation to deepen our walk with Christ, to renew our commitment, and to sharpen our focus on what truly matters.

But before we step forward, let me pose a question for us all:
What is one area of your life where you sense God calling you to grow or change this year?
Take a moment to reflect on the above. Is it in your faith, your relationships, your service, your priorities, your hope, or the legacy you are building? Sometimes, the greatest transformations begin with a single honest question.

This year, I want to offer six words of wisdom, each from a different perspective, to help shape our faith, our relationships, and our shared mission:

1. From the Perspective of Faith: Begin with God at the Centre.
Every journey starts somewhere. Let ours begin with Christ, not at the margins of our lives, but at the very centre. When God is our starting point, everything else finds its rightful place.

2. From the Perspective of Church Community: Walk Together, Not Alone.
The Christian life is not a solitary path. We are called to bear one another’s burdens, celebrate each other’s joys, and strengthen each other’s hands. In 2026, may we choose togetherness over isolation.

3. From the Perspective of Service: Let Compassion Lead Your Steps.
Service is not an occasional act; it is a posture of the heart. Let kindness be the language we speak, generosity the habit we cultivate, and compassion the mark we leave wherever we go.

4. From the Perspective of Discipline: Focus on What Builds You.
Not everything that demands our attention deserves it. This year, may we learn to say “yes” to what nourishes our souls and “no” to what drains our purpose. Focus is a spiritual discipline that shapes our destiny.

5. From the Perspective of Hope: Expect God to Do New Things.
Hope is not wishful thinking; it is confident trust in God’s unfolding work. Even when the path is unfamiliar, we can walk boldly, knowing that God is already ahead of us, preparing the way.

6. From the Perspective of Legacy: Live Today with Tomorrow in Mind.
Our choices today shape the faith of those who come after us. May we live in such a way that our children, neighbours, and communities see Christ reflected in our words, actions, and commitments.

As we step into this new year, may these six perspectives—and the questions they stir in our hearts guide us toward deeper commitment, greater care, and unwavering focus. Let us journey forward with courage, unity, and expectation, trusting that the God who has brought us this far will carry us faithfully into all that lies ahead.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” — Isaiah 26:3

May God bless your life this year in whatever you go, do, or say.

Thank you.

Yours devotedly,
Rev. George.
