From Pastor's Desk
Itβs a new year! When a new year starts I try to think about things that I can concentrate on for the coming year. Two years ago I started the year discussing how a person could read the bible in a year. Last year I wrote a lot of articles about Prayer, and how a person could think about prayer. This year I talked to the elders and we discussed the possibility of home visits. What that means is visiting a person or family in their homes. Obviously in the last three years I have visited a lot of people in their homes for a lot of reasons, but I want to visit everyone else. I plan on, eventually, visiting everyone. This might take a while, but I want to begin as soon as possible. I know that a lot of people work so I am going to start by setting up plans to meet with retired people first and then move on to other members. I still plan to see everyone. I would be willing to see anyone just about whenever. In that spirit, I invite all the members to do not be afraid to call the church (or myself) and set up a time. The purpose for this is not to have a meeting. It is for me to share Christ and get to know everyone better. I look forward to seeing all of you. If you have any more questions do not be afraid to ask.
