I am still glowing at how well the Yard Sale went. We raised over $2800 for our General Fund, which is somewhere between 10-15% of our projected budget shortfall for the year. Thank you to Dawn Brading for chairing the event. Thank you to the Prayer Shawl ladies for leading the bake sale. Thank you to the our team working the kitchen making delicious breakfast goodies. Thank you to everyone who donated and thank you to everyone who worked the event and represented our church so well to the community. Thank you to the cleanup crew and thanks Goodwill for taking all our leftovers. My heart is so full!

My heart is full after a weekend of celebrating and blessing the newly minted King family. Their story is such a beautiful example of the power of God’s love! I can’t thank God enough for bearing witness to even just a small part of their incredible journey.

Hey y’all sorry I’m getting this out late. I was at a clergy retreat on Monday. It was a wonderful time to connect with other pastors, talk shop, and listen to God. I’m thankful for the experience and I’m thankful to be leading this community. The church is in a really healthy place and my eyes are open to see what God calls us to next.
