Thanksgiving is upon us! What are you thankful for this season? Who has the Lord used to bless you in your walk with him in recent weeks? Maybe take a few minutes between now and our Thanksgiving Feast to thank the Lord for them and thank them for pointing you to the Lord. One thing I’m thankful for this season is all of the relationships I see being formed and all these relationships that have been sustained in our church family. We have many members who have known one another for decades. We have friendships that are merely weeks old. And God is using all of it to build up the body! Thank you, Lord!

On Sunday, we will be baptizing one of our new covenant kids! For this, I’m bringing the PM Colossians series into AM worship with Colossians 1:18-20: "Jesus Christ:  The Focus of Redemption” In PM worship, Pastoral Intern Aaron Philip will bring the message from Proverbs 1:8-19: "Wisdom's Garland; Sin's Fool's Gold”.

I can’t wait to worship with you as the Lord gathers us together as His sanctuary! May we know His presence among us!

Love and blessings,

Pastor Joel
