From Gods Matchless WordGood News for a New Year

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light alamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good worksand give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5: 14-16

MINISTRY PLAN

As you look through the ministry plan (next page) being proposed by the Lay LeadershipCouncil, here are a couple things to be aware of:

First The various ministries and projects mentioned here are based in large part on acombination of both urgency and cost. Some are pretty exciting. Others are rather ho-

hum. But they all need to be done urgently.Second The ministries mentioned are in no particular order. They are all very important to the

overall health of the congregation and growth of the kingdom.Third These ministries will not be accomplished unless the congregation as a whole rolls up its

sleeves and joins together in doing them.Finally If we all contribute to making these ministry goals a reality, the results (with the Lords

blessing) will be well worth the effort. (Continued on page H)
