Blessings in Christ,
Hopefully each of you enjoyed Christmas, or are still enjoying the Christmas season. I know the day after Christmas I woke up so grateful for all that I have in this life and posted the following thoughts on social media, “I woke up this morning feeling utterly appreciative for life. The life God has blessed me with. My calling. My family. My wife. My children. The Church, especially my BPBC peeps. My friends, far & near”.
As we move closer and closer to the end of the year, I pray that each of us find moments to rejoice in personal growth and opportunities that were had to give God glory and the bless those around us, throughout this past year. We surely have a lot to be thankful for. In the midst of the praises, we also have a lot to be praying for. We are asking for healing for many within our congregation who have either had illness and ailments for some time, or have been effected more recently, even just this week. We know the Lord hears our prayers.

This past Sunday, Dec. 24th, 2023 – we praised God for the incarnation that we celebrate in this season, especially on Christmas Day. We prayed for enjoyable times for all, healings for those in need of healing, and for Middle East peace. We praised God for a successful 4th Annual Under The Tree Christmas Outreach. In this time, we ask for prayers of healing for Deacon Brian, who fell and was in the hospital. He is doing better daily. Praise God, Also, Vicki, Pastor Mike and Rachanda, and others have suffered from the flu. Also, others smile have sick symptoms. Please pray for healing and comfort for all. In Jesus’ name.
I look forward to worshipping with each of you online this coming Sunday, and maybe even being blessed by hearing your New Year’s Resolutions.
To God be the glory.
By His effectual grace,
Pastor Michael Miano
