CHRISTMAS EVE WORSHIP
Thanks to everyone who came to one of our two outdoor services on Christmas Eve. Our 3pm service included an unforgettable weather experience! What started out with a sprinkle of rain, turned into a full downpour along with heavy winds and ended with a rainbow at the end of the service!

THOUGHTS & PRAYER FROM PASTOR BOB
Quote for your day...
What in your life is calling you? When all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul?
- Rumi
Listening to George Winston’s “December” on my morning walk. It is the perfect contemplative soundtrack on this cool, gray, January morn.
My prayer for all of us is that peace, hope, and joy will pull at our soul all day long.
Love to all of you,
Pastor Bob
If you need someone to talk with remember you are not alone. Reach out to me or someone else who holds you in their heart.
