Hold the Light

The experience of Covid-19 has impacted the life of our churches and our individual lives in many ways. Familiar activities have been disrupted, while new challenges and opportunities have been needed to be faced. As we look forward to 2022, uncertainty continues to prevail, yet ours is a faith that has sustained God's people through every circumstance of life.

Our focus for 2022 acknowledges that while we might not know what the year has in store, we have a message of hope to which we can hold fast and offer to a hurting and uncertain world.
