April, 2018

Dear Church Family,
            
I hope this note finds you well. As the weather begins to warm up and the weeds begin to grow like crazy, that can mean only one thing: that we are again blessed to celebrate the Hope of our Risen Savior! I hope each of you will take time to say thank you to the Lord for such a great Salvation and that our gratitude will cause us to share our faith with others.
Also with spring arriving, we will again have the opportunity to say thank you to our Church Staff.  Our Staff Appreciation is scheduled for the evening of April 22nd. As a church family we are so blessed to have such a caring and talented staff. I know that each of you will want to come and be a part of this special time to let them know how much we truly appreciate each of them.
The other thing that has me so excited this spring is the progress we are making on our new sanctuary. Every day that we come to work, we can see a little more that has been added. I trust you have already begun to think about ways you can give in our 5th Sunday offering later this month, or maybe just giving a little extra each week toward the building fund would be easier.
I also want to challenge all of us to begin to invite others to join us here each Lord’s Day. I read recently that up to 70% of un-churched people would attend if they were just invited! Truly the fields are ripe unto harvest.
As always, we are praying for you and your family. May you have a blessed spring.
Love,
Pastor
