Nate Note

There's something amazing about those first few days of the year when one can walk around outdoors without a jacket. It doesn't make life perfect, but it sure can make life good! I hope you are enjoying some extra time outside these days and I look forward to the many ministry opportunities coming up that you can be a part of with your church. Take a look at all that is to come. Some are just "save the date" at this point (Habitat for Humanity build!) and others are coming up quick (LYFE Camp Early Bird registration ends Monday!) and many are the next steps in our regular good times (Pastor Judy is our next guest speaker!). See you soon! Jesus loves you, Rev. Nate Melcher Associate Pastor
