We had such a great time celebrating our 31 years as a church last Sunday – even though it was a snow day. What a crazy time this has been. I remember our first anniversary so well from a picture I have that we had a bright, sunny day wearing short sleeves and eating cake on the patio. Compare that to this past Sunday with heavy snow falling. This gives me a chance to say “Thank you” to our teams of eager servants who made Sunday happen, complete with donuts and baptisms.
We are having a special baptism on March 19 for those who couldn’t make it on Sunday. So, if you’ve never been baptized after making your personal decision to follow Jesus, please take the plunge and go public with your faith. The snow kept some people from the last baptism class. If that was you, we are offering a special class this Sunday, March 12, at 9:00am. If you want to be baptized on the 19th, please email Kathy and she will contact you with details.
This Sunday we will continue our Message Series – Stand Firm. This message series is taken from 2 Thessalonians and will help us know how to stand firm in the face of adversity from those who oppose the Gospel message of Jesus. This is a perfect series for the time in which we live. Last Sunday we talked about the end of the age reckoning based on what we did with the Gospel message of Jesus. This Sunday we get to look at Paul’s teaching on the second coming of Jesus Christ and how we need to be prepared for Him to return. We will discover that there is an evil plan of deception designed to rattle us to the core about our belief that Jesus is indeed coming again. You won’t want to miss Sunday. You will leave encouraged, enlightened, and sobered about this coming reality.
Remember to “Spring Ahead” this weekend. Set your clocks forward an hour before you go to sleep on Saturday and then you can be on time for church.
Our Growth Path that was postponed because of snow will be held this Sunday from 2:00-5:00pm. I hope you’ll make it your Sunday afternoon fun!
