This Saturday morning at Laurel Hill will be a time set apart for prayer and pursuing the vision of ministry God has for us. We’ll start with breakfast at 8:00 AM. Thanks to Doug Singlemann and other men of God for preparing this meal for us before we meet together. We will begin with a time of devotion and worship at 8:45 AM, preparing our hearts to hear from God and each other and then formally begin our focused time at 9:00 AM.
This is more than planning our calendar. This is a time of agreed upon focus and mission where we mark our year with the ministries we believe help us fulfill God’s holy purposes for Laurel Hill within the kingdom and within our community.
At 11:45 AM, we will share in Holy Communion to conclude this sacred time.
The Lord knows it can be difficult to look ahead with hope and confidence when that way seems dark or uncertain or we’re still trying to catch up to where we are. This is why it is so good to be able to trust the Lord. His plans for us are to graciously give us a future and a hope.
The song said, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” And the song is right. Why is this the most wonderful time? Because Love is revealed from heaven. Salvation has come. God is with us – Emmanuel! We can open the pages of the book and go to Bethlehem and see this One who is born King of the Jews and Lord of the Nations.
