Dear Fellow Followers of Christ:

What a tremendous January for our congregation! It is such a blessing to be a part of a congregation that seeks to serve Christ in so many ways. On Sunday mornings, I love to stop for a moment and just watch our church at work. Here is what I see –

The youngest among us in our nursery are building relationships while doing art projects, playing and just being children.

Our elementary school children, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults are all enjoying

one another’s company and learning what it means to be Christ followers.

The Hospitality Team is preparing coffee to enliven those who are in need of caffeine.

The altar guild is serving Christ while preparing our altar for the holy moment of the

Eucharist.

We have our greeters and ushers gathering and setting up so that even the newest guest

entering the worship space feels pulled in and receives a holy hospitality.

 Our choir is warming up getting ready to offer themselves as worship leaders and guides for

our weekly gathering.

The Sunday Sexton is running around setting books up in chairs, moving tables, and

preparing our worship space. 

Then there are countless others who arrive early or stay late to pitch in, set up, tear down, offer a lending hand, share a story, give a smile, offer a hug, and just be witnesses of Christ’s restoring love in our lives.

            And this is just on Sunday mornings…

Thank you for all that you do to live into God’s hope for our church of restoring all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.

Faithfully,

Jason
