Hello Church Family,In these past couple of weeks, I’ve been reminded again of the gift it is to be part of the family of God. In particular, this church family! Babies have been born, and some people have transitioned from this earthly home to their heavenly home... and all kinds of things in between. Through it all, I’ve seen again and again the beauty of the family of God caring for, loving and supporting each other. I love seeing what God does through you, His Body, as you respond to the nudging of His Spirit. It was a great joy to bring 2 of our grandkids for the Beach Blast half-day camp! There was electricity and warmth from the moment you stepped into the atrium! Thanks to the over 50 people who freely served that week and to each of you who serve in many ways. What you do matters. I’m super pumped to share a simple story from Exodus 31 this weekend. As we continue our Extraordinary Nobodies series, we will look at Bezalel. We’ll discover how his life offers us a unique perspective on how the gospel might best be received in our current culture. You could be surprised!My prayer for you today is from 1 Corinthians 13:14, "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
