Build-A-Better YOU!

A Message From Pastor Ken

Most of us have heard of the “Build-A-Bear” stores. There is one here in Syracuse.

My grandson built one for his grandma. He calls her "Yaya." She wanted to be called “Nana,” but it came out “Yaya.” She loves the name; it’s special because he gave it to her.

My grandson went to Build-A-Bear to make something just for his Yaya. You choose the kind of animal, the clothes, and you can even include a recorded message that can be played. He chose a bunny with a message of love for his Yaya.

In the same way, God chose you, and He wants to build a better you in 2026.

Peter said, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18)

How do we do that?

  • Committing to regularly reading the Bible
  • Consistently gathering with other Christians
  • Committing to impact your world by living in a way that influences others for good
  • Loving others just as you love yourself
  • Being more generous with others

These are just some ideas. There are obviously other things we can do, such as diet and exercise. Let’s embrace some changes so we can grow in 2026.

Remember: nothing changes if nothing changes. Incorporate one small change and build momentum to inspire you to add others as the year goes by.

You won’t regret it!

~ Pastor Ken Lang

Love in Action: Inviting a Friend to Faith Build God's Kingdom Through Love February often draws our attention to love - cards, flowers, and meaningful gestures toward those closest to us. But Scripture calls us to a deeper love, one modeled by Jesus Himself. A love that gives, serves, and reaches beyond convenience. “We love because He first loved us.” This month, we invite you to live that love out, through prayer, through action, and by inviting others to know the hope we have in Christ....

What God has done and where He's leading us.

What God Has Done & Where He's Leading Us Build God's Kingdom - In You & in His Church We hear the question often: "Where do I start?" So, we prayed, talked, and put our thoughts on paper.
