We will never forget those, who like Jesus, were willing to and actually laid down their lives for our freedoms. Meditate on that today and pray for all our service personnel, families and all our first responders. May God bless them, keep them and provide for all their needs. Amen
No blog today--just worship and praise God for allowing us to be born in the land of the free because of the brave! Freedom is not free!
Here is Sarah's update from yesterday. Thanks Sarah, Mike and all for covering for us and for leading us to worship. I needed that, Mike! Thanks!
Good afternoon, warriors,
What a great day of worship today! Thank you Pastor Mike for your unique message through the Word and music!!
We also had a great yummy brunch. Thank you, Lori and team that helped to make our May brunch a success.
Praying that we all follow through with what Pastor Mike suggested - making the most of our worship time; remembering
that Our God is for us, then who could ever stand against us.
Reflect on the beautiful name of Jesus......saying the name of Jesus changes and affects your heart. What a powerful name of Jesus.
And even when we don't see that God is working, He is STILL working, He never stops. What a comforting feeling.....knowing that God is STILL working even when don't feel that He is......don't forget that!
We have been given the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort us. So remember each morning, and through whatever you may be
going through, allow the Holy Spirit Lead YOU!!
