Pastor’s Notes 1/17/2025

“I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul” -3 John 1:2

This simple yet profound verse reminds us that our spiritual lives are deeply connected to our physical and emotional wellbeing. God cares not only for our souls but for our whole selves, and we are called to do the same, for ourselves and one another.

As we continue to grow our Wellness Ministry, we acknowledge the sacred task of tending to our physical and emotional health as an act of spiritual care. Just as the early church supported each other in love and truth, we are invited to walk alongside one another in times of strength and in times of need. Whether it is by offering a listening ear, sharing resources, or simply showing up with empathy and grace, we are living out the call to “support the work of faithful servants” (3 John 1:5-8).

Wellness is not a solitary pursuit. It is a journey we take together, rooted in God’s desire for us to thrive in every aspect of our being. Our Wellness Ministry reflects this truth as Sun City Christian Church is a space to nurture health, share knowledge, and foster hope.

On Sunday will dive deeper into John’s letter and celebrate the plans we are making to support one another with faithful ministry in 2025. May we continue to do so with the love of Christ, and may we be a living testimony to the wholeness God desires for all creation.

Just a reminder that on January 26th, our General Minister and President, Terri Hord Owens will be preaching and joining us as we forge into the next 50 years of ministry together. I look forward to worshiping with you in person or on YouTube this Sunday.
