THE WEEKLY WORD...
Dear Church Hill Faith Family,
To God be the glory, great things he hath done! Last Sunday, I announced that Church Hill has received a bequest in the amount of $175,698 from the Lantz family estate. Through the generosity of the Lantz family, God has shown us grace beyond our wildest imaginings! Praise the Lord!
I hope that you will think of this bequest as God’s vote of confidence in us. Church Hill is not irrelevant, old news. Decline is not an inevitability for us. The church doors are not closing! We are still called to witness to the all-encompassing, all-embracing love of Jesus to our local community, Commonwealth, and world. This unexpected gift has freed us from perpetual anxiety over money. Our debts to the Conference which have burdened us for so long have been paid in full. For the next few years, we will be on solid footing financially. The best way in which we can express our thankfulness to God for his abundant grace is by devoting our whole selves to caring and advocating for the least, the last, and the lost within our community, Commonwealth, and world. Let us be known as a people who will not rest until all have experienced the transformative, life-giving love of Jesus!
With hope for the future,
Pastor Nicholas
