Dear Friends,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are doing so from
St. Croix, US Virgin Islands where we have committed to help the church here for 5/6 months.

God grant us this year a wider view, So
we see others' faults through the eyes
of You. Teach us to judge not with hasty
tongue, Neither the adult nor the young.

Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure.
Instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret.

Freely forgiving for some offence
And finding each day a rich recompense.
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand;

That all of us whoever we are ... Are
trying to reach an unreachable star. For
the great and small ... the good and bad
The young and old ... the sad and glad

Are asking today; Is life worth living?
The answer is only in, loving and givin.
For only Love can make man kind and
Kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind.

By giving love, we can help this year
To lift the clouds of hate and fear.

May Your New Year Be Blessed

Happy New Year

With blessings and every good wish for 2024
to you and your loved ones.
Deryck & Mavis Sonaram
