Embrace Your Calling - Prepare for the Future
January 10th is the first Sunday of the Season of Epiphany.
Epiphany: a moment of piercing awareness, the sudden jolt of understanding. What revelations or understanding does God have for you in this New Year?
Embracing your Calling
2 Timothy 1
- Be Thankful
- Be Bold
- Be Faithful
Prepare for Your Future
Isaiah 43
- His Presence demonstrated to you
- His Purpose for you is clear
- His Perspective is what counts
In this season of Epiphany, we are excited to see what new revelation you will experience individually and as a church as you take steps to embrace your calling and prepare for your future during this time of transition!!
