March 2025 Newsletter

Dear Beloved Members, Pastors, and Supporters,


Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and fresh opportunities. As the days grow longer and the flowers bloom, many of us feel a renewed sense of energy and purpose. What new things excite you most about this season in your church? What new people are you inviting into your congregation? What new ministry initiatives are you starting? I have often said, “If you always do what you always did, then you will always get what you always got!” If nothing changes, nothing changes!


It is so easy to fall into routines, doing church as usual, without realizing that we may be stuck in a rut. The difference between being in a groove and being in a rut is tricky because they look the same from the outside. However one leads to life and momentum, while the other leads to stagnation. Both pastors and people must resist the temptation of simply going through the motions. Step into this season with fresh vision, renewed passion, and a willingness to embrace change. This season, let us move forward with expectation, boldness, and a commitment to share His love like never before. Spring is here. Let’s make the most of it.



Here to Serve You!
