Pastor Letter
Dear Friends,
We rounded out our Come Home to Movie Nights last Sunday at the MJR theater. It was fun to gather for our own special showing of the animated film, David. I’ll be preaching on David on Sunday and I have to admit, it is not easy to pick one or two key points.(There are so many lessons to learn from David.) The story of David, recorded in the books of Samuel, are foundational for us as people of God and followers of Jesus. David teaches us about courage against overwhelming odds, about kindness and connecting with God. But the movie pointed out something that I haven’t normally associated with the David story. That is the importance of each of us, as individuals, our uniqueness and who we are, in the tapestry of God’s story on this earth. David is truly a story for all ages and God continues to speak to us through this ancient text.
If you have been in the church this week, at the welcome center and especially in my office, you can’t help but notice the growing piles of furniture and other items for the Carroll/Andrews family in Pontiac. The weather is not making it easy for us to deliver these items, but we are going to try it tomorrow afternoon. If you are free around 1pm, join us at church as we load up and move items to this family. It will be cold for sure, but hopefully not snowing. Meet at church, tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 1pm to load up. Then some of us will be caravaning to Pontiac. We are making such a difference in the life of this family as we help them make the transition from the Lighthouse shelter to a new (newly renovated) house.
Remember, on February 1, our Come Home Concert series continues with the Red Cedar String Quartet, part of MSU Music on the Road. Our church has been so blessed with the concerts from this program, and this one has been highly anticipated.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Myra
