New Year Celebration

Dripping Springs Ward Newsletter

The New Year always shows up with a lot of opinions. Set big goals. Fix everything. Become a brand new person by January 2. Thankfully, Sunday offers something much better. A chance to pause, breathe, and start the year centered on Christ instead of a to-do list. Whether last year felt full, hard, unfinished, or surprisingly great, you are welcome exactly as you are. No resolutions required. Just show up.

The First Testament of Jesus Christ

Introduction to the Old Testament

 

This week begins a brand-new year of study and a brand-new testament. As we open the Old Testament, we’re invited to see Christ from the very beginning and continue or recommit to daily scripture study as part of our New Year reset.
