This summer alone, we have hosted one hundred people to learn about God through School of Christian mission, we have completed Vacation Bible School, and we have grown together as a body of belivers! I am so blessed to be able to look back from this point and see what God is doing in our midst. I think of the smiles and blessings we shared as we prepared meals for our friends from around the conference. I think of the lessons we have learned and continue to learn about slowing down and making the right decisions at the right times. I am so blessed to be a pastor at a church where people come before programs. I am blessed by the encouragement from our all day Saturday meeting that we will continue to develope people more than counting attendance, and we will work together on our two main goals of Music and Youth. I am excited to be a part of an education team that weather you know it or not is prayerfully discerning the kinds of speakers to bring that not only reflect our values and vision, but also line up with scriptural truth. We are making some wonderful strides in this race of faith. I am excited to see where our Fellowship LIFE groups will lead this fall. I am also hopeful that the continued Spiritual Gifts Assesments will help us to move forward into God's Spiritual leadings for us as individuals and as a church. I am honored to be your Discipleship Pastor.
Grace and peace, Emily ><>
