FaithBridge Family,
Here in the High Country, we are no strangers to unpredictable weather. As the local saying goes, if you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes and it will change. Well, we waited 10 minutes this past Sunday for the rain to subside, but it did not, forcing us to postpone all of our festivities including outdoor worship. With that said, I hope you are making plans to join in this Sunday (November 1) at our final outdoor worship service of the season! Bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy after the service, and stick around for a children's "parade" and fall festival. All the safety protocols and guidelines will remain in effect.
These are challenging times, but know that your church family is here for you and praying for you. You are a child of God and you are loved,
Pastor Ben
