If you have not received the New Year verses, you may get it from the ushers. May the verses be your guidance in passing this year.

Congratulations to those who have finished reading the entire Bible by following the Bible Reading Schedule in last year’s bulletin. Hope you can start over or be determined to start reading it every day this year. ” Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105).
