Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am thrilled by the positive turnout we had last Sunday for the brunch. May the Lord bless us greatly (as He so faithfully has) in the days, months, and years ahead.
I personally would like to thank all who were involved in planning this event. Thanks for those who set up and cooked food and served. Thanks for the cleanup staff. It was very well done! Thank you all!
Thanks to Matthew Hendrickson and his support team for all the work in creating a new website for our church. It is looking good and coming along wonderfully! We will let everyone know when it is up and running. It will definitely be a far advancement for us for not only advertising our church but for our own members to use to stay connected with the church and receiving info and so forth.
As we step forward in faith as Christ’s church, we can be confident that He is with us and leading us and empowering us. We have every reason for confidence and joy for a bright future. “Be strong in the Lord!”
Treasure His promise: “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt. 18:20).
