From Blake
Beloved,
Christ is risen! Alleluia!
What a wonderful Holy Week we had together at Fellowship last week. What a special privilege it was to have our Fellowship Ringers and Chancel Choir as well as special musical guests Rebekah Carlson, Sonja Guthrie, and Mason Boone offer musical pieces in worship last week. I want to thank each of them for joining us and enriching our worship experiences as we journeyed together through Holy Week.
I am grateful to return to the pulpit to preach this week as Pastor Kathryn is enjoying some much-deserved time away. Please pray with me for her rest and renewal, and please also contact me with any pastoral care needs or concerns. As we look towards our Gospel lesson this Sunday, I invite you to contemplate the evidence, both in your life and in our life together as a church family, that point to the Gospel truth of Christ's resurrection. Stay tuned for more...
I am grateful for each of you and for the ministry we do together at Fellowship Presbyterian Church. May God richly bless you this week.
See you all in worship on Sunday!
Blake
