Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters,
I want to thank many of you! I have entered into a pretty busy season. I have finally entered into a time where I can re-engage my studies. I enrolled into a New Testament Survey class at Midwestern that started a few weeks ago. I am really enjoying the learning process but, it sure is a lot! The "thanks" is for the checking in on us and for the grace extended when I explained much of my "ministry at a distance" as of late. I have 6 more weeks and then I'll get another break! Selfishly, I'd ask that you offer up prayer for the Sands Family as it is a bit of a juggling act for us. The Lord has been so very kind through it already!
Speaking of busy! Look at all that we have going on. Be sure to mark your calendars and get signed up for those opportunities for fellowship and ministry you'd like to involve yourselves in!
It is a joy to be on this journey with you,
