Words From Our Director 
                 
    
   Greetings!
We are about to start a "NEW" year.  We all know that people make New Year's resolutions.  Some plan on losing weight, starting to exercise, reading more, spending more time with family, watching less tv -- the list goes on and on. If you are reading more, I would encourage you to spend more time studying God's word.  To quote a cousin of my Dad's. "make sure you know what God has said if you only got 2 verses to read!" I have kept that quote in my heart ever since Dad first told me what his cousin shared with him, once upon a time, and it is still good advise today!
     Since we're entering a new year, we can't go back and change 2020, but we can press forward in 2021 with the desire to be better servants for our God.  I had things I had hoped to get done in 2020 as your DOM in the SMBA but the Covid changed some of my plans.  Lord willing, we can look ahead to 2021 with great anticipation,  Paul said this in Philippians 3:13-14, "But this is one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before."
     I pray that we all look ahead into 2021 with a spiritual outlook to be better servants for our God.
     In the King James Version the word "NEW" is used 150 times.  As 2021 is a "NEW" year, may we look at every day as a "NEW" opportunity to be a better servant for our God.   
     
                                                                            In Christ,   Bro. Ken Wood
