From the Pastor’s Pen 11/24/28
Happy Thanksgiving holiday family,
I pray you are well and have found much to be thankful for during this holiday season. We know that what the devil meant for bad, God will use for good. So, although we don’t celebrate the work of Columbus and the acts committed against the Native/Indigenous Americans, we nonetheless spend our time with family and loved one in the spirit of giving thanks. And, we are more thankful for the grace of God that has allowed us to minister in His name and on this corner for over 30 years. We thank God for our time of celebration and we are eager to see what the Lord has in store.
As we move into 2019, I want encourage you to reflect on our mission statement below and ask God where and how you fit into the mission. See some of the many opportunities below.
I will talk more about our mission and vision during the weekend of December 8th and 9th at we have our Annual Business Meeting and Ministry Fair.
