A Special Sunday Coming Up!
Dear Church Family,
I’m excited to share some wonderful things happening in the life of our church, and I don’t want you to miss any of it!
First, on Sunday, October 13th, we’re hosting a Blessing of the Animals right after the service, out in the courtyard. It’s always such a joy to gather with our beloved pets and honor the sacred bond we share with them. Whether you bring your pets or a picture of them—whatever feels right for you—we will celebrate their presence in our lives with a special blessing.
Also, during our service, we’ll be presenting Bibles to our elementary-age children. This is such a meaningful milestone for our young ones as they begin to explore God’s Word for themselves. If your child hasn’t yet received a Bible, please reach out to the church office as soon as possible so we can be sure to include them.
This Sunday, we’ll also be concluding our worship series, "First Fruits and Fig Trees.” It’s been a journey of exploring God’s provision and purpose, and I hope you’ve been encouraged by these messages.
And a heads up—on the first Sunday in October, we will be celebrating the Sacrament of Communion together. It’s always a powerful moment of grace and connection as we come to the table.
Finally, I want to extend a special thank you to everyone who prayed for and volunteered at our last Abundant Grace Free Market event. Your support made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many in our community. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a video recap of the day: [YouTube Video].
And don’t forget—this Sunday we’ll be sharing a big announcement during the service! I can’t wait to see the joy this news will bring to our community. You won’t want to miss it.
I’m looking forward to all the good things God is doing in and through our church, and I’m grateful to be on this journey with each of you.
With hope and joy,
Pastor DJ
