Dear WCV,
We wish you all God’s best this holiday season. May you be filled with peace and joy as we enter 2016 and may you be rooted in his nourishing love in every circumstance. We are so privileged to serve this amazing community. God has done so much in and through WCV over the years and we are honoured and humbled for what has gone before us and excited for what’s in store!
Here’s a blessing we pray for us all now – you can pray it too!:
“May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain, but by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes; not by making your path easy, but by making you sturdy to travel any path; not by taking hardships from you, but by taking fear from your heart; not by granting you unbroken sunshine, but by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows; not by making your life always pleasant, but by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help. God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.”
With love and gratitude – the Pastoral Elders.
