Scripture of the Week:
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” – 1 Peter 3:15
Hello Church Family!
I heard a great story today. One of our church members was working on our prayer garden out on Main Street, when a passerby struck up a conversation with them. The church member went and got them one of our new Ministry Guides, and handed it them. Later that day, Anthony, our Connections Director, got contacted by this person. They found a ministry in the guide they were interested in, saw his contact info, and volunteered to help. I think they’re starting next week. I am so thankful for our prayer garden evangelist, who clearly sees every moment as an opportunity to share what God’s up to in the world through our church.
Great news! We have fully raised the price of the exterior lighting equipment! All additional gifts will help cover the labor cost. It’s so exciting to see us come together, moving forward with faith.
This Sunday is NIA Sunday, when we’ll celebrate the incredible impact of this 30 year ministry. This week, you should be receiving stewardship information in the mail. Remember that October 26th is Commitment Sunday, and we’re asking all the families of the church to prayerfully consider pledging their worship, their spiritual growth, their service, and their gifts to the Lord for next year. We’ll also be having a Pumpkin Decorating Contest that day, and trick or treating for the kids!
I can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Lindsay Kirkpatrick
