January 2019, the first month of the new year is winding down. As I begin my second year as pastor of this amazing church, I reflect back over 2018 and am humbled at how God has worked in my life. I shared with my church family this morning how there have been so many people that have ministered to me this past year, when I was supposed to be the minister. We are growing together and that warms my heart. I am truly humbled and blessed that this church family has called me to be their pastor. Thank you for the most amazing first year a pastor could ever imagine. I love you all. Blessings and love in Christ. Pastor Tim

Due to the predicted snow amounts, Sunday morning, January 13, service has been cancelled. Please stay safe and remember to pray for those who are out working during the storm. Blessings to all. Pastor Tim

Please join us Monday, December 24th at 7:00pm for our CandleLight service. There will be singing, lighting of the Christ candle for Advent and of course the Candle Light celebration. We would love to have you share in this wonderful evening. Blessings to all!!! Pastor Tim

Thanksgiving, Christmas Lunch

As I walked into the sanctuary this morning, I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the decorations. We had an amazing day for the first Sunday of Advent. We started with lighting the candle of Hope and concluded with welcoming six new members by affirmation of faith and letter of transfer. Then we moved to the fellowship hall for our yearly Thanksgiving / Christmas luncheon. After the luncheon, the congregation surprised Debbie and I with some wonderful, beautiful gifts. I love our church and the amazing church family I have. Thank you all so much for making my first year as a pastor, as your pastor, a true blessing. Blessings to all, Pastor Tim.

If you are looking for a church to visit this coming Sunday, or for a church home, please join us. It is the first Sunday of Advent so we will be lighting the first candle of the season. Plan on staying with us for our Thanksgiving - Christmas luncheon after worship service. It is always a great time of fellowship and did I mention there is lots of food. Come join our church family this season, we are warm, welcoming and inviting. You may like it so much that you come back the next Sunday! Blessings, Pastor Tim.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I pray that all will feel God’s presence this day and every day. Remember that giving thanks is an everyday event and not saved for just one day a year. I pray for safe travels for all this week and for each of us to enjoy the time we share with family friends and loved ones. Blessings to all. Pastor Tim
