The theme “Firm In The Faith” is taken from Paul’s words to the church at Corinth in I Corinthians 16:13.  He said it this way, “stand fast in the faith.”  This was said to a church that was living amidst some of the most ungodly, carnal, and pagan people that ever lived.  First century Christians made a  huge difference in their world because they were willing to live and die for “the faith” rather than compromise it or water down its message.

Looking at our world today, it feels like we are living in an ever increasing Corinth-like world.  Ungodliness is prolific, wickedness abounds, and things that appeal to the carnal and fleshly appetites are everywhere.  Our challenge today is not to die for “the faith”, but rather to live in such a way that the world can see that we are “firm in the faith.”  This year may we seek to be “firm in the faith” so we can make a difference in this world!

Our thanks go to Tim Kardamis, Jr. for designing this year’s logo; it so perfectly conveys the theme “Firm In The Faith.”
