2009 is the beginning of a new year. We've already seen so many miracles from God that we can't express it in mere words. We started out the new year by making new commitments - commitment first to God and the Church, next to our families, friends, and the surrounding communities. That's not to say we've not already been committed, but we want to go deeper. Growth is not necessarily measured by numbers, but sometimes by depth. We're making commitments to God in all areas of our lives.

We've also started out the new year with fasting. Pastor Burns has asked that each one commit to fasting one day per week for the whole year, which at the conclusion, will be 52 days. We know God will honor our fasting, and we're expecting even greater things.

We're so blessed to have so many wonderful lay ministers here at the Church of God Worship Center. There are five in all; four of which are husband and wife teams. They take turns ministering on Wednesday evenings, and God is richly blessing them and our Church as a result of their Holy Ghost filled messages! God is still performing miracles here! We can't speak for other churches, but we see them every week!

We've got so many plans and events scheduled for 2009. We'll keep you posted on them all. If you're ever in Manchester, don't forget to stop by and visit us. As usual, we're still preparing dinners every Friday, with a new menu each week. As long as God is sending His blessings on our dinners, we'll keep feeding you all! May God richly bless you and yours!
