“Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.” – Psalm 32:1-2 “and this water (the flood in Noah’s day) symbolizes baptism that now saves you also, not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” – 1 Peter 3:21

THE PASTOR'S PERSPECTIVE

We only need $891.00 more to reach our goal of $18,000.00 for our chapel repairs. Then we will be able to finish the last project on our list which is the brick repair.

In Isaiah 43:19, God says- "See, I am doing a new thing!" Here are some of the new things our God does and is doing in us and will do for us:

He makes each of us a new person in Christ- 2 Corinthians 5:17

He gives us a new heart-Ezekiel 36:26

His mercies are new every morning- Lamentations 3:22-23

We are the recipients of a new covenant with a promise- Hebrews 10:16-17

He will give us a new name-Revelation 2:17

He gives us a new destination- Revelation 21:1-4
