"Making a Fresh Start" in 2005, both individually and for the Seventh-day Adventist Church family, is the focus of Pastor Jan Paulsen, world church president's New Year's message. What was done in 2004 can't be changed, he notes, but all resolve to do more and better for the Lord in the New Year.

The message was recorded at the church's world headquarters in December. Pastor Paulsen has served as president of the world church since 1999, and is in his 41st year of ministerial service. The video will be available for viewing and download from the official church Web site, http://www.adventist.org, on Dec. 28, 2004.
