Dear Church Family,
Rock bottom. Have you been there? Don’t worry, you’re not alone—even if it feels like it when you’re there.
No one plans on making a huge mess in their life, but plenty of people do. Often big messes happen when you begin to think that you are invincible. This was the case for Samson. He thought he was invincible and ended up hitting rock bottom in life. The sinful nature inside of us is dangerous and destructive. Sin can make what seems like a really huge mess.
But here’s the good news…our God remains merciful! And as Christians, we need to call upon Jesus for forgiveness even when we hit rock bottom. Amazingly, he will never ever turn us away when we do!
That’s why I look forward to worshiping with you this weekend as we study the conclusion to Samson’s story in Judges 16. To attend in person this weekend whether on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am please register with this form ahead of time.

This has been a huge blessing, thank you, one and all! Plate offerings and loose cash gifts from in-person attenders are what have dropped significantly this year so far which seems to account for most of the shortfall.)
