Youth BBQ Chicken Dinner Fundraiser, Rise Against Hunger Event!
Dear Church Family,
God prepared the way for His Son, Jesus, to bring grace and mercy into a lost world. Throughout the Old Testament we see the need for Jesus. As Pastor Tabitha spoke about prevenient grace this week, it reminded me the path for Jesus is the same path God creates for each one of us to come to Him. Paul says in Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Since creation God has been creating a path to Himself whether we knew it or not. If you are reading this and are not sure you believe God loves you and wants to spend eternity with you, He is waiting with open arms to love you and fill all the empty holes in your life. His grace is already extended through Jesus. Remember that prevenient grace is grace that is extended before we know we need it. Jesus took a chance on me before I even knew he did. That may be considered reckless by some, but that same love is extended to all. Embrace and accept it today. I look forward to a great week reflecting on His prevenient grace.

I conclude with a favorite verse:
“When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.”
(Titus 3:4-5a)
Let’s rejoice in and share that good news! I’ll see you on August 25!
