LETTER FROM THE OFFICERS
By the time you read this, we are well into 2021 and hopefully, it is going better than 2020 at this stage, or at least no worse. We continue to pray for God to get us through Covid-19 as well as many of the other events that rocked our country last year.
As we entered 2021, not only did we embark on a new year but also a new theme for the Kroc Center. You may or may not be aware that each year we have a Kroc Theme. Last year it was “United”, this year in 2021 it is “Transformation”. I think that the word “Transformation” is such an exciting word for us to think about and consider what that means for us.
Transformation means being changed, hopefully into something better. It can mean building muscle or losing weight, learning to swim or a musical instrument. It can mean being part of a
program where we work on our fitness or learning to shoot a basketball. Whatever we do that
helps us make a change in our lives that changes us for good is “Transformation”. Those things mentioned are all external, but true “Transformation”, the really exciting “Transformation” is internal. Real “Transformation” is from the inside out, and truly life-changing. This “Transformation can only take place in relationship with Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come.” When we come to Jesus and ask Him to forgive us of our sins, He forgives and we are transformed into a new creation. External “Transformation” is important for our health and growth, but internal “Transformation” is life-changing and is eternal.
If you want to learn more about this ”new life in Christ” please join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. and Bible Study on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. or Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
May God bless you!
Major John Pook
