Dear Church Family, We are living in some of the hardest times I can remember in my life time. I realize that times of war are much worse. In times of war we send our young into zones where they may not return. I remember well Vietnam, some of my dearest friends were sent home in caskets. The hardest part about the pandemic that we are facing is that we can not see the enemy, therefore let us be as faithful and persistent as we can to stay out of harm's way. We are not absolutely sure when we can meet together again in the church building, but just be keenly aware that we are the church and we can meet with God wherever we are. We are doing our best to stay in touch through media as much as possible. I pray this whole ordeal will bring us closer to God and closer to each other. We will look forward to the day when we can gather again in God's house. Let us live by faith and not by fear through this difficult time. John 3:16 I Love You!

22nd ~ XYZ outing TBD

Almost 100 years ago, one-time U.K. poet laureate John Masefield wrote a play called The Trial of Jesus. In it, the centurion who oversaw Jesus' execution returns to give Pontius Pilate an official report. When Pilate's wife requests and receives details about the crucifixion, she asks, "Do you think he is dead?" Despite what he had witnessed, the centurion answers, "No, lady, I don't." Confused, Pilate's wife inquires, "Then where is He?" The man's response: "Let loose in the world, where none can stop his truth." Indeed, as 2 Timothy 2:9 attests, "The Word of God is not bound!"
