A Moment with the Pastor
I appreciate our mission trip team reports on Sunday mornings. As a church
family we need to hear these brief reports and see a few slides of how God used our
folks to serve Him. By hearing and seeing, it provides a tangible point of reference
to pray for our mission teams whenever they go. Also, I hope that you will be sensitive
to God leading you to be involved in missions whether it is our Jerusalem,
Judea, Samaria or international missions.
Our music in all three services yesterday was exceptional. What a blessing to be a part of a
musically talented church. Make sure you compliment and encourage our music leaders, choir
members, musicians, and special music vocalists.
See you Sunday for another great day!
