Child Dedication, New Facilities Manager, New Sermon Series
Dear Church Family,
This is my first weekly email to you after the Sabbatical and my heart echoes Paul’s heart in Philippians 1:3-6. “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Thank you to each of you for your faithfulness through the summer, whether that was through prayer walking, or serving in VBS or with Rise Against Hunger or in any of our ongoing ministries. Thank you for listening to God through the reading of Scripture and for sharing those stories with others!
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ…” (Philippians 1:9-10)
Blessings,
Pastor Josh
And check out the service and hear the stories we shared yesterday at the Welcome Bash at the York City Campus!
