You’re probably still getting used to writing 2021 in all your communications, letters, and reports. To help ease you into the new year, here is the digital version of our January Bulletin, which is now available for your reading pleasure.

This month’s theme is “Radically Simple Faith.” As we reflect on last year and set our eyes on what we want to accomplish in 2021, simplifying things is key. This month, the pastoral team will unpack what it means to have and live a radically simple faith.

Our Christmas gift was the arrival of two new pastors who happen to be a husband and wife team: Pastors Jamil and Vanessa Hairston. To find out more about them, be sure to read the We Are Miami Temple section.
