Greetings church family, these past 9 days are ones for the record books. The rain, snow and ice have created hardship for many. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV) 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I have seen some tragedy this week but also a lot of good. There have been a lot of people going out of their way to help others. As we begin to thaw out and find broken pipes and other things that need fixing let us keep our eyes focused on Jesus and give thanks for our wonderful community and the people who live and work here. We have much to be grateful for as God’s people.
Scripture for Sunday
ESV Psalm 100:1 A PSALM FOR GIVING THANKS.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! 2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3 Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
