From The Pastor

Greetings Brothers & Sisters

Here we are in the midst of summertime as we celebrate this month the

birth of our nation and we remember those who fought for the freedom we

enjoy today. Let us not forget those who still fight for our freedom in the

battlegrounds across the world. We celebrate with picnics, baseball

games and fireworks. We join together with friends and family gathering

around picnic tables joining in laughter and telling stories of old. What a

great time of year it is to be an American!

It is also another great time for us to remember the freedom we have as

Christians. We are reminded of this throughout scripture, and one of those

places is in Galatians 5:1 where it says: “It is for Freedom that Christ has

set us free.” Christ has set us free from the burden of our sins and that

should be cause for us to celebrate as well. What a great joy it is to know

that God gave His Son as a sin offering for us so that we don’t need to be

burdened down with the weight of sin. Jesus reminds us of how we are

set free from our sins and we are no longer slaves to sin in John 8:36: “So,

if the Son will set you free, you will be free indeed.”

I pray that during this month as we gather around enjoying our freedoms

with those we love, let us continue to celebrate our freedom we have in

Christ and celebrate that as well.

May you have a blessed Fourth of July and may the remainder of your sum-

mer be filled with joy and laughter.

God Bless,

Pastor Scott

Haiti Mission Trip 2015 Plans are being made for another mission trip to the Mission of Hope for November 11-18, 2015. There will be a planning trip sometime later this month or early next month with information concerning the trip. It is a rewarding trip that will touch your heart and you can share in ministry with our brothers and sisters in Haiti. If you are looking for a great opportunity to be in mission, this is it! You can ask some of the others who have gone and listen to their stories on how God touched their life while down at the Mission of Hope. The cost for the trip should range around $1200 - $1500. If you are interested in going, please let Pastor Scott know.
