Greetings Friends,
Happy Thanksgiving Week! It's good to be back online. You will have noticed that I was AWOL for awhile: I've been dealing with some physical challenges- and have also been experiencing the grace of God through physical healing. It's been a wonderful thing, even in the midst of excruciating pain, to know that God is present and He can use us even in our frailty.
I think this might be a good week to blog sermon notes from each of our pastors who hold the rank of elder: Pastor Sam, Pastor Benji, and Pastor Joy. We are so blessed to have them! (The "SRC" in the above title refers to their given names: Samuel, Ronald, and Carlene).
Tomorrow we'll reflect on Pastor Sam's sermon from November 1st, Thursday we'll revisit Pastor Benji's sermon from November 8th, Friday we'll consider Pastor Joy's sermon from November 15th, and Saturday we'll end with a recap of Pastor Sam's sermon from November 22nd.
For today, though, let's just take time out during the day to thank God for these three who have forsaken all to follow Him. Why not send them a card, an email, or even a gift to let them know you love them and appreciate their ministry to us and our families?
LORD God, how we thank You for sending us pastors who have a heart for You: Pastors Sam, Benji, Joy, Martha, and Richie. We are so grateful that You have equipped them for the ministry. We pray that You will bless them and provide for all their needs, and that You will show us the roles we can play in helping to meet those needs. Lord we love You, and we ask You to help us be an expression of Your love to them. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen!
