As we enter the New Year, we grateful for all the Lord has done. Here are snapshots from the past year. Take a moment and look at the faces many of whom you might know. They are not stock or staged expressions. Do you see the joy springing up from the heart? Joy in connecting with one another in Christ, joy in abiding with Christ, and joy in extending Christ through serving around the world. And though we don’t have room to show every face and every emotion our church family has experienced this past year, our hope is these remind you of the beauty of the statement, “What goes deepest to the heart, goes widest to the world!” Together in 2024, let’s “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” and continue to bear the good fruit of life found in Christ. follow @parkcitiespca
