FROM YOUR INTERIM PASTOR

Since the beginning of the new year our worship services have been blessed with a good number of visitors.  And a good number of the visitors have returned to worship again. I think this is a great sign for our congregation. But we also need to do our part and make sure they are welcomed and invited back to share with us again. If you see someone you do not know, make a point to greet them and introduce yourself. All of us are gifted with the ability to smile and to be friendly.

I have mentioned the challenge to have 250 on Easter Sunday for worship. It is an easy goal. And in the process we need to be inviting folk to our Life Groups. Bible study is all important. And the fellowship offered by the small group also contributes greatly to the health of a congregation. If you are not a part you are welcome to come and participate.

I look forward to sharing with you in worship.
