Wednesday's Word

Church family,

I’m still rejoicing over what God did in worship this past Sunday. What a gift it was to celebrate six baptisms together. Baptism is one of the holiest moments in the life of the church—an outward sign of God’s grace and an unmistakable witness that Jesus is saving, renewing, and drawing people into his family. Thank you for showing up with such joy, prayer, and encouragement, and for surrounding those who were baptized with love and support.

Also, I want to invite you to join us tonight for our Christmas Carol Sing Along. Come ready to sing, laugh, and celebrate the good news of Christ’s birth with your church family. Bring a friend, bring your kids, and let’s fill the room with joy.

Grateful to be your pastor,

Matt Ayars
