When I Am Afraid, I Put My Trust In You
It is hard to believe that the first month of the new year is coming to a close. For Methodist churches, the end of January always means “end of the year reports,” and I will share some of our statistics from last year later in this note. Spoiler alert: it was an outstanding year!

To Know God’s Peace
Let me begin this week’s note with a prayer request. Our beloved director of music ministries, Scott Atchison, is set for heart bypass surgery later today. Scott went in for a stress test on Monday, had a heart catheterization on Tuesday, and it was determined he needed surgery today to alleviate several blockages. I invite you to pray for him and his doctors today. Pray that Scott will know God’s peace as he faces this surgery and a long rehab, and pray for his doctors that God’s healing touch might flow through their hands. Thank you for your concern and prayerful support.

Our Faith Encourages Us to Care
I want to encourage you to pray for our brothers and sisters in California who have suffered the devastating effects of the wildfires. Mark and Cinda Boomershine and their children Belle and Rex are members of Peachtree Road UMC. From 2015 until 2019 they lived in Pacific Palisades and were very active at Community UMC there. The church was brought down by the Palisades Fire in a matter of hours on January 8. I have talked with their pastor, and he confirmed that at least twenty members of his church have lost their homes. This church serves as a community center in that neighborhood, and we are receiving special donations to bring hope and help to members of the congregation and the church itself. We received an offering last Sunday, but you may not have been prepared to participate.
