Notes from Pastor Shelly

As I write this, fences and temporary walls are going up and in the next few days old walls will be coming down. It is exciting to watch this process get started, and it will be neat to watch it unfold over the next months. When you come to worship this weekend, the signs and walkways will be clearly marked to make your way to the side entrance doors, volunteers in red vests will be there for anyone needing assistance, and you will get to see the changes as you make your way in toward the church building.




As the construction gets going, Wednesday Bible Study, Prayer and Meditation, Wednesday Night Beth Moore Bible Study, Dancing with the Lutherans, and all other activities continue as normal (we are thankful for this!). Youth Group has been on break for a few weeks due to our various camps, but will resume again tomorrow night at 6:30pm in the Youth Room. All youth 6th to 12th grade youth are invited!



We heard in worship last weekend Jesus’ parable of the Sower and the seed and how God is a Sower like no other—he knows that the rocks and thorns can be penetrated. And he is a Sower who has made cracks in the hardest of hearts and brought forth fruit in the thorniest of lives. Come again this weekend to hear another of Jesus’ parables from Matthew 13, and let God’s word grow in you and bear fruit in your life!



See you in church! Pastor Shelly Satran
