Greetings Saints of God,

As 2020 comes to an end, and 2021 can be seen in the distance, I wanted to say, “Thank you.”

Thank you for all the ways you have supported this ministry over the last year. Thank you for all the ways you keep showing up for your congregations and for yourselves. Thank you!

This year has been a challenging year of pivots as we figured out how to do all the things that fell under, “Things they didn’t teach me!” From online church services, to reaching your kids via zoom, recorded children’s sermons, and the likes. I hope that my spring boards have been as helpful to you as they have been for me in making them.

And mostly, Thank You for your financial donations to this ministry. They have meant quite a bit, and I am grateful for each one of them.

I hope 2021 finds you healthy, and know that I am keeping you in my prayers.

Living in and through God’s Amazing Grace,

John
