Hello again, friend,
I pray you are well! As I write this, the week has been cooler and the feeling of fall is in the air; though the forecast still has some warm days in it. It’s the middle of September and the warm days of summer are turning to the cool days of autumn.
With the changing season, I am mindful that in a matter of weeks the membership of each church will meet for the purpose of making a decision regarding becoming one church. The decisions of each body will have long-lasting results. On October 8 we will either become unified as one church or continue as two separate churches. We have had a good long season of asking questions and interacting and observing much of what a merged church would look like. There are questions that cannot be answered in this season; the saying, “We don’t know what we don’t know” certainly applies here. But many questions do have answers, or at least vision toward a possible answer. If you still have questions that have not been answered, I and Jon Collins, are personally inviting you to contact us with your questions, in order for you to be as informed and prepared to cast your vote in this decision on October 8.
I hope you are planning to join us for Sunday school (9am) and worship (10am) this Sunday! In our One Another series, we are gong to look at a verse I have known for a long time—Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” I’m excited to unpack this verse together with you and see how God will use it among us for his glory and the further proclamation of the gospel!
If you have a Bible question, need prayer, need counsel, want to help out or just share in the fellowship we have in Christ as Christians, give us a call, send a text or an email, or stop by the church building during the day and say hello! We are honored to serve you as pastors.
Grace & Peace,
John White, pastor
