Dear Wrightsboro Family,
First of all, Thank you.
This week has not gone quite as I planned. I’ve been out of the office battling these stubborn kidney stones, and while I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain on anyone, I can honestly say I’ve felt surrounded by care. So many of you have called, texted, and checked in on me, and it means more than I can say. Thank you for being the kind of church that shows up with love in moments like this.
Even in my downtime, I’ve been preparing for Sunday’s message—and it’s a powerful one. This week’s Scripture is John 17:20-26, part of what’s often called Jesus’ “High Priestly Prayer.” It’s a moment where Jesus, knowing that his time is short, lifts us—you and me—up in prayer. The sermon is titled “He Prays for Us” because that’s exactly what Jesus does. He looks across time and sees you, and he prays that we may be united, full of love, and joined together in God’s glory.
There’s something deeply comforting about knowing that Christ prays for us—not just in the past, but continually, even now. And that’s a message I’m eager to share with you this Sunday.
As we gather this weekend, I hope you’ll come with open hearts, ready to be reminded of the incredible love that holds us together as a church family.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Tyler
