Dear Friends,

I can’t believe it’s time to reflect on another year at SoGF! Looking back, it seems that we packed so much into 2025.

Thank you to everyone who invited friends and family to our church this year. We welcomed more visitors than ever before, and we hope they heard about the saving power of a relationship with Jesus and how His grace covers everything.

Psalms 34: What an uplifting time it is to read Psalms 34! It’s packed full with reminders of Who God is, His powers, His mercy, His justice—all of the good things about God, and the comfort it is to have Him. My favorite verse is Psalms 34:18a—“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart” (NKJV). Thank you, God, for being near us when we are at our lowest. Thank you that we don’t have to face this life alone!
