Dear Friends,
Good morning, Church By The Sea Friends. We have so much to be thankful and grateful for in our lives. Grateful for God giving us His Son. We should be grateful to God for the ability to worship together and for our friends who can't join us live, but they can online, and they do! Gratefulness is something that we all should be praying for more of. Having a grateful spirit causes us to be a people who are in tune with God and who begin to see others as fellow strugglers in life! We see each other as equals and not us versus them - it is amazing what can God do through us. Pray to have more of a grateful spirit.
We had another great day of worship! I am amazed how God is moving and drawing us to act, to befriend, to listen, and to love the community God draws to our church and to the world around us. I hope as you attend or watch us online that you experience that as well.
I want to let you all know that we begin our stewardship campaign on November 6th, 13th, and I am asking you all to pledge by the 20th! You will receive a letter from our Clerk of Session soon detailing our budget and I hope all who call this church home will pray about what they can give to the life and ministry of this church. We have all experienced some incredible times and God has blessed us so we can continue the amazing ministry which is Church By The Sea. I look forward to sharing more details soon, but please be in prayer about what you have the privilege and honor to give.
Have a safe and blessed week. Be His hands and feet! I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday in worship, or on our YouTube Channel (The Church By The Sea).
In His Grip,
Chris
