We are kicking off a new series called "Beginnings" this Sunday with the message Grace Behind, Hope Before. At the start of a new year, it can feel like standing in a doorway, with one foot still planted in what has been and the other stepping toward what could be. For many of us, the past year was layered: joy and loss, clarity and confusion, prayers answered, and prayers still waiting on God’s timing. In this message, we will look at the temptation to glamorize, grieve, or run from the past, and how Scripture invites us to remember differently through the lens of God’s grace. As we reflect on God’s faithfulness, we will see how grace reframes yesterday, gratitude anchors us today, and hope steadies us for tomorrow, because new beginnings are not rooted in willpower, but in God’s mercy that meets us in what was broken and carries us forward. We would love for you to join us this Sunday as we step into this new season together at Tables Church.
