THE PASTOR'S PERSPECTIVE

On Monday night I tuned in as President Trump announced his nominee for the Supreme Court. What impressed me the most was not his credentials as a jurist which might qualify him to become a Supreme Court Judge. I was impressed by his commitment to his family, his church and his community. I got the impression that he is devoted to his family and involved in his church and his community. He coaches his girls basketball teams. He serves meals to the homeless and tutors children in the public school system. He does all this while being a federal appeals court judge! It is a reminder that we each need to make a difference by serving in our church and serving our community.

In just one month we are over half-way to our goal of raising $18,000.00 for the chapel repairs. Total giving to date for this project is $9,111.00. Thank you for your generosity!

This Sunday I begin a new series from the 23rd Psalm that I am calling "God's Prescription for Stress." The 23rd Psalm addresses the 7 major causes of stress in our lives and gives us God's solution to them. The beginning of this new series would be a great way to invite a friend to church. I look forward to seeing you, and maybe your friend, this Sunday!

Grace & Peace,

Dennis
