| Greetings! |
I once again find myself thanking God for the amazing work He has done in and through His church. It was such a blessing, last Sunday, to once again share with you the powerful message of the Cross and to experience those moments of worship during the Lord's Supper. I stand in awe of our mighty and loving God.
I have noticed several of you taking the time to check out the new addition to our building. The plans for this new space are to utilize it immediately as additional space for our children and student ministries. In the not too distant future, I am convinced we are to construct another building specifically designed for our growing and exciting ministry to these children and their families. At that point in time, this additional space will be incorporated into a larger area for us to worship.
Over the last few days, I have seen God do amazing things with this building we have added on to our facility. I see people talking, and I hear people laughing. They talk about big plans and God sized dreams... and you know what, they actually believe God can and will do amazingly wonderful things through the ministry of Fellowship of Montgomery. I love their passion for the Lord, the little ones, and the lost. Church family, eternity will never be the same because of what we are doing today!
Remember to tell someone about your church, and I look forward to seeing you Easter Sunday as we worship the Risen Savior, Jesus Christ!
May the Lord bless you,
Pastor Dale | |
