A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR
Good morning, Church Family!
It is only 1 week until our church’s 175th Anniversary Celebration!! It’s going to be an amazing day. There will be no Sunday School, but the building will be open at 8:30am for coffee, donuts, fellowship, and perusing our Historical Treasures Hallway! Then at 10am worship begins! Get ready to celebrate and rejoice in God’s faithfulness to us. Finally, our church-wide luncheon is at Noon. Please call and reserve your ticket today!! As your pastor, I WANT YOU HERE!
Now, for today’s sermon-It’s a BIG day, because this morning we are going to bring to a conclusion our Fall Sermon Series with a sermon titled, “Beyond Conversion…There is Enduring.”
Did you know it’s possible to receive Christ as Savior, experience the thrill and joy of salvation, and then relapse back into an old way of life? The purpose of this sermon is to help you avoid this very thing. I am praying for those who need to be encouraged by it.
Love in Christ,
Pastor Danny
