Dear English congregation family,

It is December, and what a year it has been. Christmas is right around the corner, and beyond that is 2025! Year-end is the time when many of us take stock of our year; it is an opportune time when we can look back and also look forward with a reset.

And so, I want to offer these 3 personal questions to reflect on; Questions that I hope will help us let go and let hope take hold in our hearts. Here are the questions:

What went well this year? What can I RECALL and REJOICE in? What did the Lord do?

What didn’t go so well this year? What do I need to REPENT of or RELEASE?

What am I working toward? What is the Lord inviting me to RECEIVE and RUN in

*Questions created by Jason Kovacs, Gospel Care Collective.

If you would like to talk through some of these questions and your journey this year, I would love to grab a coffee with you and hear about your year. You can connect with me at [email protected] or catch me on a Sunday!

And so I pray you and your family truly have a Merry Christmas this year. May the love, hope, joy, and peace of Jesus Christ overflow in abundance into your heart, mind, and soul.

Blessings,

Calvin Sun
