Leading Missions Church

Cathy and I will be attending a meeting with pastors from the leading missions churches in America on Monday and Tuesday next week. This past fiscal year we gave over $1,500,000 to missions around the world. I am amazed at your generosity in the midst of challenging economic times. I will always believe that this is one of the significant reasons God’s blessing is on our church family. The meeting is being in held in Maine. It will be our first visit to the state of Maine. We are tacking on a couple extra days on the front of this trip to see Nate and Lisa (our oldest son and daughter-in-law). They recently moved to New York so we will get a chance to see them in their new environment.

In my absence on Sunday, Doug will bring the wrap-up message to our family theme for the month. It is going to be a great day as we continue to experience God’s presence and open our hearts to His Word.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
