- We continue to see exciting things happening on the church property. I want to give a shout out to those that helped with the workdays this past Friday, Saturday and Monday.

- Our Monthly Memory Verse for October is, ““Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” Psalm 100:3 ESV One of the greatest truths in the Bible is of God’s love and care for us. This verse can be a life preserver when facing difficulties. If you are struggling in this area, let me encourage you to check out the ScriptureTyper App. (IOS and Android)
- This Sunday in our “Step In Faith” series we look at Abraham. Abraham reminds us of our need to grow through those impossible times in our lives. He is an example of a man who walked in faith. He challenges us to hold onto God when we cannot figure out where the Lord is leading. We do need your prayers for our congregation as we challenge ourselves to step out in faith doing our part to move our site development forward. I also covet your prayers that God would speak into my life through my studies of Abraham this week.
