Dear Church Family,
As all of you know, this has been a very hard and challenging week for our city. We want to start by saying thank you for being so concerned and generous over the past few days. I believe it to be true that character is revealed during hard times and, once again, our church family and our community have shown Godly character! We also want to encourage you to continue to look for ways to give, serve, and help those who are trying to pick up the pieces of a broken life. Let me encourage you with this thought; "God knows where we are in this moment. We must but learn to trust Him, in trusting, we eventually see that God is using our trials and difficulties to bring us to a place of surrender and to glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!" The renewal of all things is the most beautiful, hopeful, and glorious promise ever made in any store, religion, or philosophy. In Christ it is real and it is ours! All praise to the One who will one day make all things new!! Love, David and Penny |
