Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Good morning and welcome to our thanksgiving week service! I hope this morning, as you search through the many aspects of your life, your heart is indeed filled with a sense of gratitude at the goodness of God. I know that one of the things I am extremely grateful to God for is His patience with me. In our imperfections, through our failures, God patiently guides us and nurtures us to spiritual adulthood. Looking back through my life I realize that had I lived in the world of the Old Testament I would have been repeatedly stoned to death or struck by a bolt of lightning, or perhaps drowned into the flood. I know you as well have plenty of reasons to give God thanks this morning to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us lift our hearts and voices to express our gratitude through songs, prayers and the proclamation of His word!

This Wednesday – November 22^nd – Family Time & Bible Study

On Wednesday, we will meet in person for our Family Time at 6:00PM for those of you who want to bring their meal and eat it in the company of other brothers and sisters. This is our bi-weekly fellowship meal.
