Spring Is Here!

Hello everyone! Hope this finds you all doing well. I wanted to take a moment to update you on some things taking place in and around our church.

Spring brings a lot of joy and happiness to folks with the warmer weather and bright sunshine. I love hearing the birds chirp and sing. Seeing the flowers in bloom. All the beautiful pastel colors that are displayed. None of this would happen if it weren't for our precious Lord. It is all at His hand and He commands them to happen. He has so richly blessed us and we need to be thankful. This time of year also reminds us that Jesus rose from the grave. And praise God that He did! Many years ago, people thought that He would be dead and buried. But no truer words were spoken than the ones Jesus spoke in that He would tear down the temple and then rebuild it again in 3 days. Every words that He ever spoke has come true and will come true. We can rest in the knowledge that when He said He would return for us, He will. O, what blessed assurance. No one will ever love us more and want what's best for us than our Savior. I am thankful for a Savior who loves me so much.
