Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
Psalm 100:4, ESV
God has called us into community with Him and with His Chosen people. May we come together and thank God for this brotherhood: the Church filled with the Holy Spirit.
This has been on our hearts this past month, as a man we have been praying for with friends for this past year finally started coming with them to church. He is asking so many great questions and often breaks down in tears.
Join us in praying for the lost!

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for unsaved recent visitors to be saved. Around this time of the year there are people visiting churches. Sometimes they are visiting because they have a sense of religiousness; yet they still don’t know and have not trusted in the Gospel. […]

Hebrews 13:16, ESV
This world is full of selfishness and need.
Let us share the love of God with others, ushering heaven onto earth as we sacrifice of ourselves to help others in Jesus’ name.
I am “not allowed” to take on more responsibilities at church because of all I already do. Yet, I have had to step in with every ministry at some point. People get sick, things stop working, life happens. And we currently are in a position of weekly set-up and tear-down.

Let us always be ready to jump in and help where needed.
