Morning Meditation
One of the threads and themes
in chapters 8-9 is healing, stilling the storms that rage within us physically
and emotionally and spiritually. So, the
natural question here is, where are you hurting? Maybe you are praying for family and friends
following a surgery or divorce or loss of job.
Remember, Matthew is concerned about the metaphorical mountains of life,

A Note From the Moderators
One of the many things we love about Pastor Wes is that he wants to share God’s love in all he does. Wes cares for us and it is important for us to care for him.
We heard the feedback from the survey last week and value the diversity of perspectives. Among the considerations for moving to one service at 10:30 a.m. from August 4 ~ Labor Day (September 1), is to reduce Pastor Wes’ workload especially during this time of transition. He has taken on many of the roles that both Greg and he shared. With the added hours of seeking a new Director of Music, we believe moving to one service for this short period of time is the right move.
We respect Pastor’s incredible work ethic and care for us. We thank you for completing the survey and sharing your wishes. We thank you for your understanding and support in caring for him.
Blessings,
Harold Mezile ~ Moderator; Carol McCloud ~ Vice-Moderator; Nancy Morris ~ Immediate Past Moderator
