Happy Mother's Day, Welcome to New Members, Mentoring Program (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/11)

 Happy Mother’s Day

Today we honor all mothers and mother figures among us. We also recognize that this day can be difficult for many—those who have lost a mother, lost a child, struggled with infertility, or carry past regrets. Take heart: God is near to the brokenhearted. In Christ, there is comfort, healing, and hope. You are not defined by your past or your circumstances, but by your identity in Jesus.

To all moms—thank you. And to all women—rejoice in being daughters of the Most High God.


May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burdened, please don’t suffer in silence.

God created us for community, and you are not alone. Reach out—to a pastor like myself, a trusted friend, a counselor, or someone who will walk with you in love and wisdom.

Let us be a church that supports one another with prayer, encouragement, and Christ-like compassion.
There is strength in seeking help.

A Personal Request for Prayer

As Anita and I prepare to travel to Michigan next weekend, I would be grateful for your prayers. I’ve been invited to speak at my high school’s Alumni Reunion and Scholarship Banquet. While it won’t be a sermon, I do plan to share the gospel in the conversations and moments God provides.

Please pray for:

  • Safe travel

  • Boldness and clarity in presenting the gospel

  • Open hearts among classmates and former teachers I haven’t seen in decades

Thank you for covering us in prayer.
