“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you, your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 The New Year is a wonderful time to reflect and commit to a fresh start. A fresh and new start where we can allow ourselves to have a more open mind, and heart through the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the world. As we enter into 2020, this can also be a good time to reflect on where we have been, what we have said, and done to reveal God’s wonder of a new heart. I say God’s wonder because a new heart is all about God’s love for all creation. Growing up in a community of faith, I felt blessed to know that God can undo the wrong we have done and make something beautiful out of our lives. Most of all, God can take away hearts that have rebelled, hearts that have become stony and give each of us a new heart as well as put a new spirit within us. We have just survived the busyness of Christmas and are now in a new year. Isn’t this an amazing wonder of God’s grace? And yes, God has made a covenant with us that we can and will have new hearts. As I fell asleep on the last night of 2019, I was still grateful to God. Now, not knowing what this year will bring, what the future holds, I can still say God has given us another opportunity. But the question is always, “what can we do with another opportunity and a new heart?” Each of us may have a different answer but I believe that we can make a difference with hearts of flesh; hearts that are necessary, hearts that feel, hearts that can live with hope and hearts that can choose love over hate. Only then, can our hearts truly beat again with joy rather than just existing on earth and occupying space in our bodies. Let us accept a fresh start, accept a new heart, accept a new spirit and claim real and abundant life to move forward this year as we trade in our hearts of stone. As we do, we can count our blessing in hope of new things God will do for us, in us, our families, our churches, our communities and the world. Therefore, my prayer is that the miracle of Christmas will remain with us this year and all the years ahead. Happy New Year with blessings for all of us! -Pastor Alecia If you would like to contact Pastor Alecia, simply click on the appropriate button.

Our youth are busy - with mission work, fun and fellowship activities and growing in faith. Youth Fellowship meets most weeks - either after worship for lunch, fellowship and a program or for a specific special event at another time. See the calendar for the complete schedule and check our our MYF page for pictures and more information.
Bingxin Xu received his master of science degree from Cornell University and moved to Natick, with his wife Tian Zhang, right after his graduation in 2012. They feel blessed to settle down in Natick and Fisk Church, and felt called to be Fisk's Youth Fellowship Leaders in 2015. They are looking forward to leading and growing up along with the youth.
