A New Year With The Lord
A new year is about to unfold
With new opportunities to explore
Doors will open for new experiences
New adventures with the Lord
Remember not the former things
The things of this past year
The Lord will do new things in us
Much more than we are aware
For He will make a way for us
As we put our trust in Him
And He will guide our every step
By His presence we have within
What God has placed within our hearts
We find we’ll be able to do
If we look for the opportunities
We’ll see the door to go through
We mustn’t let anything hold us back
But rise up and take our place
And be all that God wants us to be
With a fresh touch of His grace
Happy New Year! |

Fire can't destroy culture's spirit
The Assyrian Festival and Carnival shows off one more cultural feature than usual this year, on top of the traditional food, language, art, music and dance.
The ninth annual Assyrian street fair in Tarzana also displays this Middle Eastern Christian community's often-tested resiliency.
The event Saturday and today is taking place on a three-block stretch of Lindley Avenue in front of the fenced-off vacant lot where St. Mary's Assyrian Church of the East used to stand. The church burned down in October, though its school was spared. After fears of arson, the fire was determined to be accidental.
"I thought we'd lost everything," Father George Bet-Rasho, the church's leader, said Saturday afternoon as the church-sponsored festival got under way. "But that night, when I saw the people clinging together, I said, `The building is not the church. The people are the church."'
The church membership of about 1,000 families has been holding services in an adjacent banquet hall. A $4 million rebuilding project is scheduled to begin in mid-May. Consecration is expected in August 2011.
"We've been resurrected," Bet-Rasho said of the church, which moved to Tarzana from North Hollywood 13 years ago.
Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine said he drove to the scene the evening of the fire and remembers seeing the priest and church members in tears as the Assyrian community's main gathering spot lay in ruins.
