Pastoral Letter 24 Jan 2014

New Year 2014
24 January 2014
Dear AMC Family,

This is my first opportunity to wish you all a blessed 2014. May it be for all of us a year in which we experience that the LORD blesses and keeps us; makes His face shine upon us and is gracious to us; lifts up His countenance upon us and gives us His peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

Last week we looked at Communion with God through Prayer. Next week, in our Covenant Service, we will look at The Bible as Light on our Way. Today we are looking at Personal Devotion – Daily Quiet Time. Click here for a wonderful format for personal use which was first published by the MCSA in our Faith and Life series in 1986, which I continue to find the most helpful resource for Daily Quiet Time that I have yet come across. Please consider using it as a guide to growing in the area of Personal Devotion in 2014.

Last year, as a result of our Reveal Survey I encouraged us all to embrace a regular Bible reading programme and I want to encourage us all to continue and grow in our commitment to daily Bible reading in 2014. We will once again distribute the OneYearBible readings......watch the Info Stand and remember you can start them at any time.

May we all grow in the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ this year and always,

Much love,

Cedric
