Do I have a great surprise for all of you! This coming Sunday morning I've invited Judge Stephen McKinley to speak to our church to give us an insider's view of the Juvenile Court.
Let me tell you why I'm so excited about this. First off - the Bible commands us to take care of the widows and orphans. And oh my, do you all ever take that seriously! I'm so proud to be your pastor. Several families within our church have or are currently providing foster care for children. One family adopted the children into their own family! I just know you are going to want to hear the latest updated information from our Juvenile Court Judge.
Secondly, I've had the distinct privilege of meeting and hearing Judge McKinley speak to me and our fellow pastors at our brown bag pastor luncheons. I believe him to be a godly man and a devout Christ-follower. Many of you may have met him during our March of Prayer events back before the Covid-19 closed our public meetings down. We all will benefit by hearing him teach us this coming Sunday. Whether you come in person or watch online, I believe you will be blessed by what he has to share.
Our worship band will be few but mighty this coming Sunday. About half of us will be on vacation this coming Sunday morning. But those of us who remain will enjoy leading you in the singing of the following worship songs: "You Never Let Go" by Matt Redman, "Because He Lives Amen" by Matt Maher, "Blessed Be Your Name" by Matt Redman, "Lord I Need You" by Matt Maher, and just so every song isn't by a Matt (haha) "This Is Amazing Grace" by Phil Wickham.
I'm sure looking forward to "seeing" you one way or the other this coming Sunday. If you come in person, remember to wear your mask as you enter and exit the church. We have many older folks who really want to be there, so let's do our best to protect them from the Covid-19 virus. If you choose to watch online, that's fine. We completely understand. Open your Facebook to the Church Requel page shortly before 11am EST Sunday.
Love you all! Pastor Mark
