Dear Church Family,
People often find themselves just plodding through life. How about you? Even as Christians who believe in Jesus as our Savior, sometimes we fall into a pattern of failing to live out our faith and not using the spiritual gifts our God has given us.
When the world is influencing us more than it should, Jesus reminds us about the vital importance of staying connected to him, saying, “I am the Vine.” So please join me this coming Sunday at 9:30 AM as we explore how our connection to Jesus not only keeps our faith alive. It enables us to accomplish what God considers good!
