letter from pastor dale

What an incredible year 2023 has been so far! God is doing amazing things through our faith family, and He’s just getting started. There is so much more to look forward to! We are making an eternal impact today and paying it forward for future generations.

I’m excited to present you with the second volume of 52 Weeks of Forward, and I hope you enjoyed the first volume as much as I did. Thanks to our staff and leadership, who prayerfully crafted these weekly devotionals for us to read and share as God prompts. We pray that you will be equipped and encouraged in your faith journey.

Every Moving Forward section provides a practical step to begin living out each timely lesson. We’ve also created a space to journal your thoughts and prayers. God has so much in store for us. We are His light to a world in desperate need of Him.

When we immerse ourselves in Scripture, it impacts every area of our lives. That’s why we’ve included a daily Bible reading plan that follows the order in which historical events unfolded. You can join us in reading the Bible in a year or take it at a different pace. God’s Word will surely bring healing and fresh wisdom to your life. Volume one included the reading plan for January through June; volume two begins in July and will guide us through the end of December.

May the Bible reading plan and devotionals equip you to participate in God’s redemptive story and share it with others. Let’s continue to Move Forward with faith. God has so much more for us in the remainder of 2023 and beyond!
