President’s Message

How are you? Really? In this month of thankfulness and praise, gratitude and joy too often mix with pain and discouragement. Hope mingles with despair, high expectations meet with disappointment, and hurt feelings can lead to walls of division instead of forgiveness and healing. Life is hard.
Which is why we’re here for you. To refresh, renew, and rejuvenate. To trust, comfort, and help. Not only on Sundays, but many days, we connect with one another through conversation and prayer, coffee and a text, a hug and a smile.
Some special moments this month invite thankfulness and praise while recognizing the difficult times. On Sunday, November 3, take your pick. Join us for a service of healing prayer or a more rambunctious time of intergenerational Sunday School. Sunday, November 24 will be a joyful dedication of the re-imagined narthex and lounge while remembering loved ones and their families who made it possible.
I’m thankful that we have each other and praise God for his enduring presence. Because life is hard.

Sharing in the worship, work, and celebration of Christ,

Diana Meyer
