Dear Friends,
Well, yesterday's worship was going well and then we came to the point where I was to give the sermon and low and behold, it was not there. I had not picked it up from the printer and there I am...one of my worst fears...NO SERMON!! Thankfully, Jamie Starr went to her husband, Randy, and he went to the printer and retrieved it for me. It wasn't a shining moment for me - thank you all for the grace you show me.
We are still living in crazy times in our world. I didn't think it would magically change, but I didn't expect what occurred in the last few weeks and who knows what might be coming in our future. But I do know who holds the future...Jesus Christ, God's Son. It is He that can help us make sense of all that is going on and will go on.
I hope 2021 will be for you a year of growth. Growth in relationships, growth in your involvement in the church you call home, but most importantly, growth in your relationship with God. I hope this year we all will make an effort to sit down and read God's Word, pray and listen but then act on what we hear.
Let's make this year amazing!! I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday in worship and I will have my printed sermon with me...: )
In His Grip,
Chris
