“THE LOVE OF GOD is always humbling, especially from the hands and voices and lives of His children whom He has placed around you.  Since I have arrived here, I have been constantly reminded of God’s love by all of you, and this past month I have been especially humbled by all of the cards, comments, gifts, and acts of kindness.  Thank you for everything you do!” – Your brother in Christ, Pastor Whitmore

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:  Mark 10:29-30       

“Jesus said, ‘Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.’”  This is Jesus’ encouragement for every faithful disciple.  Let it encourage you today.

TBLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
