A message from Pastor…

Thank you to all who joined in our Ministry Fair, Season of Possibilities, on Sunday, September 15. Our session leaders reported that the folks at their tables freely shared their thoughts about where we are and possibilities for our future. 

Some of the wishes shared are what every church wishes for, more children and young families. Some wishes shared are creative and call for innovative thinking, such as occasions for Bible study while we are in worship, and more opportunities to get to know each other and celebrate. 

Session board members have agreed to devote a portion of each month’s meeting agenda to turning possibilities into realities. You will be the most crucial part of making it happen. Your participation and your feedback are what we need to make an idea become an action.

My wish is that we will hear God’s voice leading us to new things and welcoming new people, as we become more widely known in our community as a church that cares and acts with compassion toward others. I wish that because we share God’s love through missions like providing Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches to those in need, folks will want to join us or put what they have seen us do in action at their own church or community organization. 

Now that we’ve begun really talking about possibilities, let’s begin planning for the realities.

Blessings, Edward
