Hello Village Family and Friends,
I hope this letter finds you well. As I sit here and consider this week so far, it has been one filled with difficulty and also blessing, for many among us.
On Thursday, our church held the funeral service for George Spicer, a long standing member of Byron Baptist, who went home to be with the Lord at the age of 90. While we grieve the loss of a beloved brother, we also rejoice, knowing that George is now with his Lord and Savior, seeing by sight what he formerly saw by faith!
In the same week that we mourn the loss of a beloved brother, we as a church also had 28 middle school students walk through our doors for The Break. These students enjoyed a meal prepared by some of the women of our church, as well as a Bible study led by Pastor John. God be praised for bringing the lost and hurting to us, that we may point them to Christ!
Brothers and sisters, in all things, whether it be the passing of a senior saint into glory, or the opportunity to share Christ with a young student, may we seek to exalt the Savior, both as individual believers and also as a congregation in this community, where God has placed us.
I hope you are making plans to gather with the church this Lord’s day. We will be continuing in our “Family Matters” series. Last week, we looked at man and what the Word says; this week, we will continue, looking to God’s Word and what it says about woman.
Lord willing, we will see you Sunday!
In Christ,
Jon Collins, pastor
