Phase 1...Phase 2...
by Pastor Mike on July 1, 2020Dear Church,
The first month back together has been a success. Thanks to everyone who did their part to make it happen. Now in July we will move into Phase 2. That means we will open the Nursery and start back our Wednesday service only. We will increase seating in the Sanctuary. For those of you who are staying at home, we will begin to live-stream on YouTube as well as Facebook Live.
On Sunday, July 12, I will begin a series of messages related around Abraham and his family, starting in Genesis 12. It is going to be a great study. I am titling the series “A Brand New Beginning.” It is the story of a man’s faith. People around the world know the name Abraham. Don’t miss this study. Invite people to come with you as we begin this new series together.
Would you agree that prayer or praying is essential to a Christians life? Every year I try and read at least one book on prayer. I want to pray more and more effectively. The Lord taught His disciples how to pray. I am going to teach on prayer beginning July 15th. It will be informative and practical. I hope you will come and be a part of something that could change your life. Proper praying can do that you know.
Thanks to everyone who has been giving during this pandemic. However, we are $11,000 short of where we were last year at this time. That is what we need to meet budget. Let’s be faithful during these days. See you Sunday with a Word from the Lord.
Serving the Savior,
Pastor Mike
