Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

As we turn this new page of the calendar and realize that the year is almost gone, it is perhaps an appropriate time, in theme with this month, to look back over the year and to, as they say, “count our blessings.” This is the month of gratitude, the month of thanksgiving, when we realize that in spite of all the hardships and difficulties of life, God shines His light in our lives and hearts through many blessings, through acts of kindness that witness to His continuous love for us.

Thank you for being with us this morning and joining us in worship as we endeavor to praise God in a way that pleases Him and truly expresses the gratitude we carry in our hearts for His love, His kindness and goodness towards us and our families: To God Be the Glory! Amen!

This Wednesday – November 8^th – Family Time & Daniel 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.
