Dear Friends,
I thank you for all the ways in which you continue to faithfully live out your lives in meaningful ways that truly make a difference.
Sunday we received a special offering over and above our regular giving for the UMOM family shelter which was flooded by the monsoon rains. You have generously given $2,321 to date to help make a difference. THANK YOU.
Other appeals are made from time to time to help make a difference and folks step forward in response. THANK YOU.
You continue to support the ongoing ministries of this church through you regular financial giving so we can report all bills paid to date with no need to make a special appeal to keep us afloat. THANK YOU.
We have had several deaths in the recent past. I am so pleased with the way this church cares for people, "... walking through the valley of the shadow of death." People step forward to help make a difference. THANK YOU.
Greeters and ushers appear every week to welcome and host folk in worship. Liturgists step forward and the church bell and Chancel choirs continue to provide meaningful and uplifting music. THANK YOU.
People step forward to volunteer in the office on a regular basis which makes a difference for the paid staff. Our money counters volunteer each week. THANK YOU.
Each Tuesday there is a special program we benefit from along with other classes and groups for learning and supporting one another. THANK YOU.
Committees continue to meet and carry out tasks behind the scene which make ministry happen both in and outside the walls of our church. THANK YOU.
I love hearing our visitors tell me how friendly and welcoming our church is. THANK YOU.
Our church is blessed to be a blessing in these and other ways. I rejoice I have the unique privilege to be in ministry with you and encourage all of us to keep the good things happening. THANK YOU.
Marvin
