A Message from Pastor Matt |
Friends in Christ,
We have been awaiting the warmth of summer with more anticipation than a kindergartner towards Christmas. And finally, that pleasure should be upon us. Thanks be to God, for the blooming of a world considered frozen only a dozen weeks ago. God is about life, whether blooming in our hearts, a ripening character of a community of Grace or the patient healing of persons torn by events or grief. We live the resurrection. We live central declaration that in Christ you already belong to a new creation. We wish you plenty of new creation, recreation if you will. Please keep in touch with the source of all life and creation this summer. Our Saturday service, Sandals and Short's Saturday is a 5:30 p.m. oasis of grace. Come kick back with us in the presence of the risen Christ. Our Casual Sunday worship, 9:30 a.m., is a blend of hymns and songs and Living Word. Come enjoy with us whenever you can. We are here for you! As always contact Pastor Reggie or myself if we can be of help and support to you or if you just care to talk.
Shalom in Christ
Pastor Matthew Bersagel
