Pastors ParagraphWhen I traveled to Jackson, Mississippi last weekend to help my dad see his brother, we took time to drive through the neighborhood where we grew up. It has been 46 years since we lived there so we expected some changes. But we were shocked to turn onto our street and it looked like a war zone. The houses were not just in disrepair, but some of them were boarded up. Bushes and trees were overgrown, junk was all over the yards, and the atmosphere was almost dangerous. As I thought about that neighborhood, I thought about how life must be for those people. It has to be depressing, discouraging, and hopeless! How can the church bring hope to a neighborhood like that? We have some areas like that around our city. What hope can we give? As we talked, my dad said that the only hope is to help individuals discover the love of Jesus and in that find hope. As more and more find that love, hope can be restored to the community. That is our goal here at Pennway. That is our hope for the families we are touching. We want to give hope. Jeremiah writes about the children of Israel while they are in exile and gives us the whole book of his Lamentations concerning that situation. Right in the middle of this book of Lamentations we find this statement: “I remember my affliction and my wandering … and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” I don’t know what you might be facing right now, but no matter how bad things might seem, call this to mind like Jeremiah did. His compassions will never fail! They are new every morning. His faithfulness is great!

In His Service,Pastor John

VBS was such a success! We had a fantastic week learning more about the God of the universe and what it means to have a relationship with Jesus! We had 95 different kids come throughout the week and 67 of those kids came every single night! We loved getting to know all of these wonderful kids.

We have an amazing church that is so giving and supportive! Thank you to all 53 volunteers who gave so much time, love and help for VBS! Thank you to those that financially supported VBS, and thank you to those who took time to keep VBS in your prayers. VBS would not have been possible without any of you. You are appreciated!

On March 12, I brought my family to Pennway on a day that was considered a welcome day for new people visiting. On this day, I could see how much I was going to enjoy coming to this church. Then I had gotten a letter from Geneva with the words “We believe that God has brought you to us.” After reading this, it has stood true ever since. I believe that God is working in my life through the Pastors and the people of the church. Every sermon that I have been able to listen to, has some sort of message that has mirrored something in my life that has either happened a week or a month ago. I believe that God works through our Pastors as a sign that he is always with me in good times and in bad. For example, it could be the words of a song I have been singing multiple times when I hear it on Shine FM and realizing the true meaning of the words (Casting Crowns-Oh my Soul). I cried at the stop light when it hit me. It’s the music we get to sing with the worship team. It’s the words of the Bible and the teachings from the sermons that I can almost always identify something in my life that I am being challenged with. I am so very grateful for all of what Pennway has done for me and my family.Amy Smink PRIME
