A Word from Pastor Paul
The men’s breakfast a few Saturdays ago was a delicious meal (thank you Polly and Katie), with 49 men and youth attending – some from Verbo, some from Bethesda and some from the Saturday morning NA group that meets at Crosstown.. Many responded on their comment cards to the personal sharing done by Jovanny Inestroza about our theme Winning the Battle in Suffering. Continue praying we can take next steps to build on and grow ministry to men after this breakfast gathering.
Last Sunday Pastor Polly launched us into our post-Easter focus – the difference it makes that Jesus is Alive! We will continue with that focus through Pentecost Sunday, May 24.
And, I urge you to plan to attend our April 26 congregational meeting. We will meet right after worship. The meeting will include ministry updates, including the Nominating committee presenting the members of our pastor search team. A major part of the meeting will be discussion around tables about the key skills and experience we need most in our next lead pastor. This input will guide our pastor search team.
A lot to be thankful for....and enough to keep us actively calling upon and trusting the Lord. - Praying as we go - Pastor Paul
