It is officially 2012. Well into 2012 actually. Today is January 6th. And please don't forget, this Sunday January 8th, 10:15am we are back in Milton at the Best Western.
On New Year's Day, we were not in Milton but had the opportunity to get together between services at the main PORTICO Campus at 1814 Barbertown Rd. I have to say that this was a highlight of my New Year's Day!
Being able to gather, even for a brief time, to fellowship and pray together was wonderful. It is amazing how we have begun to come together and mesh as a group and how people actually looked forward to being together. We had Starbucks coffee and Timbits too, which was awesome, but not near the most important part.
I shared from a passage in Hebrews on New Year's Day and I wanted to mention a couple of the verses here.
Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
My prayer is that this would be a theme for our campus as we move into our first full year in existence. We are extremely grateful to so many of you who have served and are serving in various areas of ministry already at the campus. God has done so much for us in the early weeks and months of our existence. But he has much more to do. So be encouraged...and be encouragers of one another...spur one another on toward love and good deeds. That means reaching out into your neighbourhoods and serving faithfully with your gifts, and encouraging others to do the same.
Working together we have great hope...and great days ahead.
In case you missed this small article in the paper - here it is!
God is so good!
Be Blessed,
Pastor Jeff
