Weekly Bulletin: 2022-06-08
Dear Church,
I am so thankful I get to serve as your pastor. This coming Sunday marks the 3rd year since I was installed as your pastor. It is sometimes hard to believe that it has been three years already — and yet, at the same time, it feels like it has been much longer since many of the relationships Natalie and I have forged are deep and abiding. God’s surprising providence directed us to this place and we joyously call it home, without hesitation. We are thankful for the work God is doing in us and with us and through us as we minister to you and the greater Central Pennsylvania valley. With God’s Word as my banner, my sole message, I await with eager anticipation to see what he has in store.
Lord willing, I will be preaching twice this coming Sunday. During the 10am service, I’ll be continuing through 2 Kings by looking at chapter 14 and winding ways in which God helps those he loves. In the 6pm service, I’ll be looking at Malachi chapter 2 and the startling words the prophet has for those in the “house of the Lord.” I pray that you will already be praying for this coming Lord’s Day, as we will, once again, gather around the Word of God with fellow children of God as our lives are enriched and strengthened and, perhaps, changed by the Spirit of God.
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
