Pastor Linda

from Pastor Linda...

 


Fall is a fleeting time and like the busy squirrels and harvesting farmers, we too work hard to get our homes and yards buttoned down and ready for winter. Our church leaders review the accomplishments of the prior year and set goals for the coming year.

I recall a verse from the Psalm 127: Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. This verse provides a good checkpoint for our hard work, that we continue to seek God's guidance and direction in all that we do at home and at the church.
