Hello Village Family and Friends,

As I write this, it’s now November and we’ve already experienced our first accumulation of snow. How quickly this year has flown by, yet also, how much we have to look back upon and be grateful for! The Lord led has protected us and has faithfully led two congregations into a new season as one church. For that, let us praise His Holy name.

This month, we will be learning a new song together, “All My Boast is in Jesus”. The lyrics for the chorus are so simple, and yet so biblically rich:

“All my boast is in Jesus
All my hope is His love
And I will glory forever
In what the cross has done.”

As we were reminded last week in the message from Galatians 3, Christ’s righteousness, received by faith alone, is the bedrock of the Christian faith. Dear ones, ALL our boast is in Jesus! I want to encourage you to begin listening to and learning this song, as we will be singing it the next few weeks.

Also, this Sunday, we are beginning a new sermon series called “Family Matters”. This series seeks to bring biblical definition and clarity to the family--its member and their roles, and is intended to equip Christians to engage for the spiritual battle that is raging in this present day.

Please join us this Sunday, as we gather to sing, pray, and hear God’s Word preached. Lord willing, we will see you then.

In Christ,
Jon Collins, pastor
