January Message from Aaron Quinn

January 20, 2026

Happy New Year to You! I hope and pray each of you were able to enjoy some much needed and deserved time with family and friends over Christmas and the start of the New Year. As we continue to move into this new year, I would like to ask you a question: did today feel any different to you? For many, the start of a new year brings motivation, anticipation and hope of a new day, a new year, and new opportunities. Goals and resolutions are made and, often, quickly broken and/or forgotten. The newness of another year wears off and we find ourselves making similar choices and focusing on the same priorities as the year before. January 9th is known as Quitter's Day as that is when most people give up on their New Year's resolutions. What about you? Where are you in your goals and resolutions? What would help you to stick with it? What if we made a conscious choice to make every day new? What if we started every day with a conversation centered around gratitude and focus on becoming new in Jesus? Paul speaks of this in his second letter to the church in Corinth, " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Each day is a gift from God. A gift that is to be received, valued and enjoyed by seeking His will for your life. We are taking this thought and many prayers for resiliency and tenacity into our 2026 plans for Central Ohio. We thank everyone for their support, participation, and prayers.
