I don’t know about you but I’m choosing to begin this new year with a heart filled with Hope.  My hope is coming from the celebration and conclusion to the advent of waiting for our Lord to arrive. We have just received him in complete humility at the sight of the manger where the news of his arrival sounded out through the heavens and spread ever so quickly.  This arrival was a...

This Advent season we will explore the sermon series, “The Word made Flesh.” This month I want to draw our attention to the words of John 1:14-15, “The Word became flesh and made his home among us.

However, I feel we are all staring into the face of the unknown.   It just seems to be, there are so many that are hurting around us and knowing how to help alleviate suffering for those in need is not a clear cut path. As followers of the cross, we do know it has to begin with prayer and putting one foot in front of the other.  This month...

It’s time for resting just a bit more as soon our days will be made shorter yet. Yet, this year and especially this time of the year, all of us are feeling more anxious with the arrival of the pinnacle election on the horizon. We’re finding ourselves at a time of great division in society, in churches, in families and the struggle is real. It can be...

To view the full newsletter, please click here. Greetings and happy May! The spring cleaning of our hearts and minds is a good thing. I recently came across a Scripture passage in a devotion of mine that has really been following me. I’m thinking, God is wanting me to spend more time with this passage. Plus, I think it’s always a good plan to spend time with the passages we come across and not just glaze over them.  Just to be clear, this isn’t referring to any political viewpoint, this made...

Happy March to All God’s People! 2024 is a leap year and brings with it an additional day in February, which seems to only mean the winter season was extended one more day on the calendar. We truly are at the threshold of spring. March, however, is a busy month with Holy week and Easter coming at the end of the month. With this month being the majority of our Lenten season, the verse chosen for the pastor’s note seems appropriate. I was asked...
