the Pastor's pen

Greetings to everyone,


I hope in the Lord that each of you is doing well. This letter is late because we have been busy cleaning and setting up the sanctuary in preparation for the Resurrection Day Service. Though we are not quite complete, we were able to have Resurrection Day Services in the sanctuary! Praise the Lord. We thank the Lord for being in every detail and know He will see it through to completion. How do we know? The Lord does everything for the glory of His Name. Whatever is in God’s hands is good. We hope to see everyone soon. Commit to going to church weekly; it truly is in your best interest to worship and serve the Lord. We are looking forward to a “Celebration of Dedication” service on May 31st. It is our desire that you would join us.


Throughout this past year of repair and renovation, many things have happened. God has seen us through as He always does. God worked, though the rains came down, because He sent the rain, for the just and the unjust. God worked, though the plumbing pipes broke in the Fellowship Hall, because He said, “There will be trouble.” God worked, though the thief came, because Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,…where thieves break in and steal;” God worked, though there were sicknesses and even death, because God said there is a time to be born, and a time to die.

But God also said,


“These things I have spoken to you, that you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”


“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”


And God also said that He makes all things new. That begins NOW. With each person who will accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior. He takes the heart of stone and gives you a new heart of flesh. The “I Am, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty; He holds the keys of Hades and of Death. Therefore, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.


In Christ
