Update From Your Pastors

Dear Welling Church family,

Happy New Year!

Is it 2023 already!? As we look back on 2022 and look forward to 2023, our heart’s prayer is that our church continues to faithfully proclaim the name of Jesus Christ to our community and to the world around us.

With the beginning of each new year, many use that time for retrospection, reflection, and planning. How are you specifically and spiritually preparing for this year?

The first few weeks of January are an excellent time to prayerfully consider how you can go deeper with your spiritual walk. Instead of binging on another Netflix series, think about a spiritual discipline you would like to develop. Make this spiritual discipline consistent, attainable, and measurable. Do something new, take that step of faith, or grow in an area where you have been weak in the past. Some possibilities include but are not limited to: read your Bible everyday, begin reading your Bible with your partner/family, begin a prayer journal, pray regularly with a friend, share the Gospel with at least one person a week or month, memorise a verse of Scripture every week or month, or begin serving in a new ministry at church.

Over the next few weeks, endeavor to spend some time praying over what God would have you to grow closer to Him this year. As you do, make a plan and a goal for yourself. Share this plan with someone from church so they can pray with you and for you as well as help keep you accountable.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Thank you for joining us in fulfilling our church’s ministry work by faithfully serving and giving to the church. You are making an eternal difference!
