patience

As we sit and wait for this storm to hit us, I want to encourage you to be in prayer. Many pray for different things during a time or natural disaster or crisis, but I wonder how often we pray for patience?

I don't know what will happen to our house or to our church. I don't even know when we will be allowed back into the county, so I must be in a mode of waiting. In this waiting, I need patience. In the rebuilding process we must be patient.

Tomorrow we will not be in church, but that does not mean that we cease to be the church. Love those around you. Care for those in need. No matter what happens, we will move forward together.

I want to encourage you to remember your church this week. Many churches are having to cancel their services which means that the offering which supports the ministry of the church will not be taken. We give to God through the ministry of the local church so lives could be changed. The ministry will continue and it needs your support. Please consider this in your giving.
