Dearest Church,

Thank you all so much for your prayers, calls, texts, emails, etc., over the last week! I am finally feeling so much better after my bout with Covid. I am so grateful for Pastors Gabe, Brandon, and so many others who stepped in to help out in extra ways while I was out. I was able to return to the office a little this week and am looking forward to being in worship with all of you this Sunday!

As you may know, a number of our staff were visited by the Covid bug this week, but I believe almost everyone is now past their quarantine, and we are back up to full strength!

We are looking forward to starting our Winter Midweek next Wednesday – there is still time to register! Midweek features a family meal, classes for kids, youth, adults, and choir! We would love for you to join us for this intentional time of multi-generational discipleship.

I am in prayer for all of you as we press into this new year together. I am beyond grateful to be your pastor!

In Christ,
Pastor Ryan
