Reunion

This week the New Year has definitely made its presence felt. People returning from holiday trips... schedules are gearing back up... all those things I put off are demanding attention. It's been a busy week, but somehow it all feels good. I know that going from December to January is really no different than going from April to May or September to October, but there's just something about it being a New Year that makes it all seem... well... NEW. You know what I mean... fresh... unspoiled... full-to-the-brim... starting over... almost as if God gives us a "do over"... a chance to delete all the mistakes and failures of last year and begin again... a time to recommit, to persevere, to make better decisions, to grow more closely into that person God wants me to become.

One of those special things will happen this Sunday night. We'll have our first Reunion Service of 2006. Reunion is a time for our Church Family to gather for worship... both some traditional forms... and some more interactive activities that stretch us, draw us closer together, and offer parents and children a chance to interact with God and one another. I'm looking forward to our first 06 Reunion. Maybe you can be there too.
