By faith
New Hope Community Church of Ayer is a multicultural church that has grown out of a vision from God to provide a local place of worship for an underserved community. This month the church celebrated its 33rd anniversary. What a testimony to the glory of God! What a mighty God we serve. A small group of people’s faith in the power of God’s word is evident in the church today. The church testimony has held firm: “We’ve come this far by faith”.
Through faith and patience
“...that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12
On June 19th, 2021 our country declared Juneteenth a national holiday. The original date in 1866 marked the end of 250 years of enslavement for people of African descent with the ratification of the 13th Amendment. As I remember my slave ancestors, I am inspired by their resilience as they endured unimaginable suffering and unfair treatment; they held fast to a promise that one day their children and grandchildren would be free.
