Scripture of the Month
If anyone is in Christ, there is a NEW creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become NEW!  (2 Corinthians 5:19)

God of our NEW beginnings, help us to trust you. When there are endings for us, help us trust you to be with us and to show us NEW things. Amen.

Thought for the Month
In our endings and in our NEW beginnings, God is present, loving us and making our lives NEW.

Share these treasures along the way each day: Deeds of Love & Kindness, thoughtful
Words, and your warm Smile, and then feel yourself RENEWED!
