The Best Thing Ever for a Pastor . . . .

Is to know that the components on Sunday make a difference!  That the other pieces that make "West" "West" continue with you throughout the week!

Last week we received several emails and texts about your "Stress Balls" following the sermon on Self-Control.  Even had some requesting new stress smileys because theirs broke or different sermons because it seems when I preach on things like this then life takes bizarre turns! 

Trust me . . . my life is not immune!  This Sunday, when we deal with Patience I will NOT be praying that God will grant me patience because I would rather not go through any additional situations in which I may have to find some!     :)

On a serious note -   thank you for the emails and texts sharing that the things like the stress balls, the "Going Further Guide" (daily devotional the following week) that the greeters hand out each Sunday prior to worship, and the content from the music and message really do make a difference!  That is the reason we come together - to go further in our journey and then to also grow closer together in community so we can then GO and DO SOMETHING with who we are and what we have!

I hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to help with the Fallstown Baptist Mission!  That is a great way to BE the church that we talk about being each week! 
 
I look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday as we talk about Patience . . . . the sermon will last three hours so I hope you come to worhip ready to practice what I preach!  HA!  Just kidding . . . 30 min or less . . . .   I hope you have a great weekend . . . . and see you soon!
 
Grace and Peace,
Andrea

Thank you so much for the care package! I loved it! The coasters were so adorable and everyone complements us on them. We had been looking for an air freshener, it smells amazing! Our whole apartment smells good! Thank you so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers! It means a lot to me that I have people at home thinking about me!!
