Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise.

- Isaiah 43:18-25 NIV 

These words of comfort are inspiration to our church family. We consistently see the mighty hand of God working in our midst. He is doing a new thing and we perceive that He is making a way for His people. We come together to worship and we leave to serve. We celebrate God, as We are the Mount Carmel Holy Church, the church by the water - a place to have a new encounter with God and begin again!
