Welcome to Sunset on this beautiful winter’s day! In the words of the Psalmist, “This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” We are glad you are part of the crowd of worshipers who will be raising their voices in praise to our God on this Sunday morning.

We welcomed the Crawford family to Sunset last Sunday morning. We also had the privilege of praying for Curt and Marilee Lewis as they came asking for our support during some difficult times. Get to know Greg, Amy and the boys and keep the Lewis family in your prayers. My mother, Lu Bright, will be having an art show at the Waterford at Ironbridge where she resides on Monday from 8 – 6. All her Sunset family is invited to drop by during the day. She is 89 and still painting! Have a great week and stay warm!

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." - C.S. Lewis

"My concern is not whether God is on our side; my great-est concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. " ~ James 1:27
