PASTOR JONATHONS WORD OF THE WEEK

THE NEW YEAR We face a new and untried year, Whose paths we do not know; Into those near uncharted ways, Each one of us must go. The brave, with faith, shall enter in Where cowards trembling go; And they shall gladly greet the year, Whose paths we do not know. For God, our stay in years gone by, Will lead the strong of heart; And they will thrill when the old year goes, And when the new days start. (Copied) Jonathon
