2023 - January Beacon

A Message from Chaplain Mark Javery

NOTES FROM CHAPLAIN MARK JAVERY

Since our last Beacon was published I am not aware of any new hospitalizations or illnesses in our NCYC family. Praise be to God that most of our membership who had been hospitalized for illnesses and procedures are now home recovering. Your thoughts, prayers, and acts of concern were/are so appreciated. And yet as 2022 draws to a close I reflect on so many Fan-Outs I sadly sent out this year that notified our membership of those in our membership and their families that have passed. Keep those who have lost loved ones in your prayers and continue to reach out to them however appropriate to convey your love.

His Unfailing presence

Another year I enter, its history unknown; Oh, how my feet would tremble to tread its paths alone! But I have heard a whisper, I know I shall be blest; “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give you rest.” What will the New Year bring me? I may not, must not know; Will it be love and rapture, Or loneliness and woe? Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper; I surely shall be blest; “My presence shall go with thee, And I will give thee rest.”
