Happy New Year!
January 1, 2010
With the new year comes a few changes at the website for our church. This year as we read through the Bible in a year as a congregation, we be using http://connellNazareneBible2010.wordpress.com for our primary devotional site. This site (http://connellNazarene.com) will remain our primary website and will be used for communicating upcoming events and important church information and audio sermons that are uploaded.
I encourage you to bounce over to this year’s devotional website, bookmark it, and read the Bible with us this year.
I pray regularly for those who use our daily devotionals. I hope that this year you will make time to join us in our journey through the Bible. More importantly, I hope this year is a year of radical growth in God’s love for you.
Blessings,
Pastor Paul

Opening Prayer: Almighty God, I ask that You walk with me to the end of this year, pulling me closer to You, and pouring Your grace upon me. Amen.
Read: Psalm 65

Hymn: “For the Beauty of the Earth”
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on earth, and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For Thyself, best gift divine,
To the world so freely given;
For that great, great love of Thine,
Pease on earth and joy in heaven;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Closing Prayer: Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely.
