A Weekly Conversation with the Pastor
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth…  Job 19:25

These words of Job are composed to music in a hymn that is familiar to many of us, “I know that my Redeemer lives; what comfort this sweet sentence gives!” For Job, these words are an expression of bold confidence and faith during a time of great trial and difficulty. Even though things look bleak and overwhelming, Job trusts that God will come through for him. We have a God who will come through for us, as a redeemer and champion over what ails us!

Last Sunday at Epiphany was a significant time of worship, fellowship, and reflection! Many of us visibly participated in committing ourselves to God’s mission at Epiphany! We brought our pledge cards and God-given Abilities Put into Service forms forward to affix to the cross as we sang, “Lift High the Cross.”  The cross (to the left of the altar) will remain before us in the coming year as a reminder of our united committed to all that God is doing in our midst! May God’s Spirit direct and empower us!

See you in church!
Pastor Ken
