A Letter From Pastor 1-1-21
“Happy New Year!” These three words bring hope and excitement this time of year.
Happy is what we all want to be. Happiness is a choice that we can make daily. We know what the opposite of happy is, it is sad. The weeping prophet Jeremiah wrote in Lamentations 3:21-23; This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning. We are happy when we get something new. New is what we like most. This new year offers new beginnings, new challenges, new expectations, new experiences and new opportunities. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The old year is behind us and the new year lies ahead of us. The next 365 can bring something new into our lives. We need a new touch. We need a new and fresh anointing. God wants to do something new for you. I pray we walk in the newness of life in Jesus Christ everyday. So instead of “Happy New Year” how about “Happy New Day!” Everyday can be happy in the Lord.
May God bless you in the new year 2021!

A Letter From Pastor 10-4-20
On the calendar, we all go through the same season together, but in life we all go through different seasons at different times. Every season differs from the last. Some seasons are like winter, dark and cold. Other seasons are like spring, it brings forth new life and new beginnings. As we go through different seasons of life, it brings about a maturity that will help us grow.
We seem to think that our younger years were some of our best years, but I have found that God withholds His greatest blessings for the latter times of our life. The longer I live I have found Him to be faithful to those that have weathered the storms of life, and have remained faithful until the very end. The older I become the more I gain understanding about the grace and mercy of God. My knowledge, earlier in life, does not compare to what I know now. I am becoming increasingly aware of the depths of God’s mercy and love towards myself and others.
Our best days are ahead of us. The Bible says, “The latter rain shall be greater than the former rain.” Just hold on until the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. What we see here on earth, the beauty and splendor of it all, will not compare to what He has in store for us in heaven. It will be spectacular. It will be glorious. We are living in the last days, and God is saving His best for last!

A Letter from Pastor 9/1/20
Its without saying, this has been an unusual yea
It goes without saying this has been an unusual year.
The word of God is our instruction manual on how to live. The New Testament is filled with warnings of what is to come.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
So, in this unique and challenging time, let us remain focused on the task ahead of us. Let us not be distracted with everything that we are going through. We must block out the voices of distraction and deception so that we can hear what the voice of the Lord is speaking to you and I, the church.
