Who's Your One?
by Pastor Mike on March 30, 2021Dear Church,
March was an incredible month. Each week people we haven’t seen in months came back to worship. We started Sunday School back and those numbers increased as well. Our music has been great. Thanks to all who work hard to make that happen. Last Saturday we had a workday and many showed up to work and we accomplished many things we had on our list. We plan on having more of these church-wide work days.
April is upon us and we kick it off with the first Sunday being Easter Sunday. I believe it will be a great Sunday service that day at 10:30 am. We have 3 to baptize. I don’t know of a better way to honor our Lord than to baptize those who have said yes to Jesus who died on the cross for our sins.
Many of you have identified your ONE that you are praying for and are inviting to church. Easter Sunday would be a great Sunday to have them come. We have had a number of visitors over the last few weeks. Pray that God would get them to stick if this is where He would have them serve.
I read an article recently about friendly churches. It was actually a survey that asked people if they were looking for a friendly church? The overwhelming answer was no. They said they were looking for a church where they could make friends. It’s not that they didn’t want people to be friendly, they wanted more than that. We have to make room with our friends for others to come in. Friend, Who’s Your One?
Serving the Savior,
Pastor Mike
