Ephesians 4: 7; 11-16
But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gifts. The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love.
As we begin 2026, this scripture gives us a glimpse of what the Women of Bethlehem will be doing. We must be involved in activities that will equip us for the work of ministry in Christ’s name so that we build up each other in love. We will also be involved in activities that will witness to the grace of God to those who are outside the walls of this congrega-tion through word and action.
