Wherever you are in the world -
We hope you have had a wonderful peaceful Christmas filled with God's grace
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above" James 1:17 Wishing you a very Happy New Year
As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright, So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee.
William Chatterton Dix (1837 - 98)
As we go forward into 2025 and have our Covenant Service on 12 January, the following words are very appropriate:- Another Year Is DawningAnother year is dawning, Dear Master, let it be, In working, or in waiting, Another year with Thee.
Another year of mercies, Of faithfulness and grace; Another year of gladness In the shining of thy face.
Another year of progress, Another year of praise, Another year of proving Thy presence all the days.
Another year of service, Of witness of Thy love, Another year of training For holier work above.
Another year is dawning, Dear Master, let it be On earth, or else in heaven Another year for Thee. --Francis Ridley Havergal (1874)
