Dear Friends,
One of my favorite verses from the Psalms is 27:4. "One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple." As a Christian, there is something special about being in worship. As we gather each Sunday to fellowship, pray, praise and learn, it is always a joy to be together. And communion Sundays are even more special as we remember and celebrate at the Lord's table. I hope you were a part of yesterday's service and if not, I hope you'll find some time this week to watch online.
Randy did an excellent job delivering truth and challenge from God's word and the choir was uplifting and encouraging as always. It was great to see so many children back with us now that school is just around the corner. I know our new Youth & Family Ministry Director has wonderful things planned for each age group this fall. There are a lot of Christian education opportunities for adults being planned as well.
You'll get a list of classes and studies to choose from in the next few weeks. Don't forget to make plans to be with us on August 21 as we welcome Pastor Chris back from sabbatical. We're going to gather after church in Eden Hall for a potluck dinner so we can hear about some of the things he learned and experienced. You can sign up next Sunday or call the church office to make reservations. It promises to be a great time! As we get ready for the routine and normalcy that the fall brings to our schedules, make sure you continue to make worship and Bible study a priority in your life.
Blessings!
Brian
