Let’s make 2025 the year of the volunteer

Hello my fellow Cueroites, Wow, 2024 has come and gone, what a year it was!! I can’t wait for what 2025 has in store.

In January 2025, the City Secretary will be accepting filing documents for the two At-large and District 2 council positions which will be up for re-election this coming year (May 2025).

The Lord gives everyone a spiritual gift. We are told in 1 Peter 4:10; “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” It doesn’t matter who we are, what we have done in our life, when we come to Christ and accept His abundant grace, He opens to us our spiritual gift or gifts that He has given us. 01/08/2025 01:18 PM
