January 2024 Pastor’s Letter

From the Desk of Pastor Melissa

Dear Friends,

It is good to stand together on the edge of 2024 welcoming the dawn of new year! We’ve been through so much, personally and as a congregation, and I am wholly convinced that “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, God’s mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is God’s faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

I would like to thank you for your faithfulness this year! Your gifts and good works, have reached and enriched the lives of young families. Through long beloved ministries like Stepping Stones, the Easter Egg Hunt, Vacation Bible School; revitalized ministries such as Fall Fest, and new events such as Our Play Date, and our Noon Year’s Eve Party-supportive relationships and a sense of community have been formed.

Your faithfulness and support have brought folk together to enjoy good music at Our Rock Concerts and Summer Bash. You enabled a second Common Ground worship service and you helped the environment through our honey bees.

Together we picnicked, and stamped cards, got creative and watched ball games. We served meals, supplied warm clothing and a kind word through mission.

Most importantly, we drew closer to God and to each other while welcoming new friends into these relationships-thank you!

I look forward to being with you in the coming year! For I am wholly convinced that “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases”.

Here’s to a wonderful 2024! We’ll talk again soon,

Pastor Melissa
