Happy New Year, Fourth Day Family!
I pray that your Christmas season provided an opportunity to renew your faith, strengthen your relationship with God, and open your heart to the joy that only Christ can provide. Advent reminds us that there is a season for preparing and waiting—marked by hope, peace, joy, and love. As we step into 2026, may we do so with expectation, trusting that our waiting and preparing will be met with God’s presence and His calling on our lives.
A few items to focus on as we begin the new year and turn our attention toward the spring weekends:
- Pray for Brian and Jennifer as they begin, in earnest, the work of building teams.
- Remain faithful to your reunion groups and your home church.
- Consider applying to serve on a team this spring.
A few details about serving on a team:
There will be five Saturday team formations, each running from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. These gatherings will include worship, a team meeting, and a shared meal. If you are selected to serve, you are expected to attend every formation, with the intention of staying through the meal as we build community together.
The formation dates are March 21st, March 28th, April 11th, April 18th, and April 25th. When we approach these formations with a spirit of idealism and dedication, the Holy Spirit responds—shaping teams that are of one accord.
A few final items to keep in mind:
- Our next Ultreya is February 7th (details below).
- It’s not too soon to begin praying for and talking with potential candidates.
A new year awaits. There will be new challenges and familiar, faithful tasks as we work together in “this wonderful and stunning movement of spiritual renewal that has changed and made new so many in the Lord Jesus.”
