Pastor's Notes to Wesley

Hello Wesley,
I found a stash of great pamphlets tucked away in my closet. “A rumor of Hope,” “Navigating the Storms of Life,” “Filled with the Spirit,” “God is Love,” “Following Jesus,” “Grace,” “The Forgiving God,” “Overcoming Worry.” Anyone who would like one of those can just swing by the office and pick one up. You may even know someone you could give one to.

One of the things God has been consistently teaching us is that as Christians hi hope and grace needs to flow through us into others and we should have other people on our minds, particularly their spirits. This would be a great way to let someone know you care.
Paul tells the Philippians, “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11

This is my prayer for you today and I hope it can be your prayer for someone you love.
I love being your pastor,
Ernie

Pack a Sack
Pack a Sack is back!
It’s exciting to announce that we have started back with the Pack a Sack program for Town n’ Country and Dickenson Elementary. We are starting with 65 bags for Dickenson and 30 for TNC. Right now, we are somewhat in a trial run as we are making sure the schools are comfortable with our protocols, procedures, etc. Once we deliver for a few more weeks and all agree that program is working, we will fully ramp up. Due to COVID we are not collecting plastic bags as we have some from another source.
If you’d like to donate food items, we are asking for
  • Juice boxes
  • Nutrigrain bars
  • Raisins
We are grateful for your prayers….
