It’s November!

Dear Friends,

This Sunday, 1 November, we’ll be celebrating the Lord’s Supper followed by our Sunday Brotzeit. The message will be The Real Thing: Putting the First Day First. We’ll be building on last week’s message regarding the importance of being a family of faith. Additionally, we’ll be considering the need and benefits of regular worship together. As I mentioned, God chooses to bless us as we meet together. Things happen during worship that we can’t predict or foresee.

I love this story of Seattle Seahawks’ Quarterback Russell Wilson. He says, “I had a dream that my dad passed away and that Jesus came into the room and he was basically knocking on my door, saying, ‘Hey, you need to find out more about me.’ So that Sunday morning I ended up going to church and that’s when I got saved.” Russell speaks candidly about being a “bad kid” and that his faith is what has matured him into who he is today.

Many thanks to Lois Alt for the weekly updates. Be sure to let us know if you plan on attending (and are bringing family and friends to) any of our holiday events. In addition to the other events, we’ll be kicking off our Advent season as we make Advent wreaths on Sunday, 29 November, following worship. Many thanks to Debbie Kozak and Sharon Page for their help. If you’d like to make a wreath, please respond to [email protected].

Thanks again for being a prayerful and encouraging family of faith. If you have any questions, please let me know. Praying regularly for you.

In Christ’s love,
Pastor John
