Greetings to all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
I am the newly appointed Pastor Craig C. Avents II, and I just want to express the joy
that fills my soul just imagining what God has in store for the future here at
New Light Christian Church.
This year will be a success and I expect nothing less, but
there is some work to be done. We must keep ourselves filled with the Word of God and keep
our spirits sensitive to the Holy Spirit by surrendering our lives to God’s purpose and plan.
I don’t want to overwhelm you but this may take some adjustments, big and small.
At this time, God has summonsed New Light to change but only to better prepare us for Kingdom
work. The scripture reminds us not to get weary in well doing, for in due season we will
reap if we faint not. Though the harvest seems to be deferred a long time, we must continue
sowing, in our talents, in our time, and our treasure. I am looking forward to working with
the various ministries and witnessing the fruit of our labor.
I want to encourage you that The Best Is Ahead.
I would also like to thank our former Pastor, Dr. Craig Avents, Sr., for all that he has
imparted into the ministry of New Light and I want to encourage him to continue
in sharing his wisdom with us.
I humbly accept the mantle that is being passed to me and
with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are going to grow spiritually and physically
being the church that works with the existing generation to change the following generation.
Remember, we are, “The Light,” of the community and we must continue shining bright.
With Blessings,
Pastor Craig C. Avents, II
