Letter from the Church Council
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh..” – Ezekiel 36:26
Happy New Year to all of you.
How wonderful is our faithful God who held our hands throughout the year 2024, from January to December. How blessed as a church have we been to get to serve and worship together? Along the way each and everyone of us have gone through celebrations and challenges but because God has been with us throughout we conquered every situation with a spirit of love, peace, hope and joy.
Looking back to 2024 as a church we have so many things to celebrate in areas of giving, missions, outreach and evangelism but the biggest celebration we all have is another opportunity to serve our God and church in this new year of 2025. God’s promise is to give us a new spirit and a new heart, may this year be exactly a testimony of that among us.
As the year of Council is approaching its end, and as some of us are outgoing council members I would like to encourage all ACC members to continue searching for areas of service at ACC where they see themselves fitting; and volunteering their talents to such areas. Lets motivate each other in service by serving and giving others an opportunity to lead but most of all by praying for one another.
It was an honor to serve ACC at Council level for the past 2 years and I am looking forward to serving you all in different areas of service in 2025. Be encouraged brethren to use the new spirit and a new heart that comes to you in 2025 in service because the future of ACC and the community’s future impact depends on the little acts of service that we do now.
“Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be” – Job 8:7
May God the Creator and Redeemer strengthen us and bind us all with love in the year 2025. Happy New and Prosperous Year 2025; many blessings from Council.
