The old year is but a memory, and the new year has dawned. We give thanks for the past blessings and say “yes” to all that the new year will be. God has been our help in all the days and ages past. God is our hope for all the days and years to come. Let us worship the One whose love is from everlasting to everlasting. Amen.
