Message From The Pastor
posted October 10, 2018
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ loves you and He is with you now and always. God is good all the time. He has blessed us so very much. I pray that you are becoming the prayer warrior and a student of the Word of God that He wants you to be. I pray that we will keep our focus on our Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you are striving to live in the center of His will. God has a purpose and plan just for you. As we quickly approach the season of the year that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the greatest gift you can give Him is yourself. Thus as individuals and as a church let's put His will above all else.
Our Youth on Mission are sponsoring a couple of activities: Sunday the 14th is their fall hike (to the Mill Mountain Star) with a picnic, and outdoor Mission study; the 27th is the Big Church at Salem Civic center and finally on the 28th is the Fall festival and trunk or treat from 5-7 PM. Everyone is welcome.
On November 3rd from 1-3 PM our youth, men's ministry and others are sponsoring a community car winterizing project. Work is underway on our Christmas play. The Samaritan Shoe Box ministry is in full force and we are close to our 100 box goal with our deadline of 10/31 quickly approaching.
I encourage each one to make it a priority to be in God's house with God's people. I love each one of you and ask that you be in prayer that I may become the under shepherd God wants me to be. Let's strive together to become the New Testament Great Commission Church that God wants us to be. Let us love God with everything we are and love others. Love is an action word. Let's invite others to come and worship with us on Sundays.
May the blessing of our Lord and Savior be with you now and always.
In Christ's Love and Service,
Pastor Joe
