“It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Church Family,
We are in a hopeful but challenging time in our world. So many things are changing, and I know all of you are, like myself, finding that each of us has different comfort levels with these changes. As hard as the past year has been, I fear that the transition to a post-pandemic “new normal” may be just as difficult in new and challenging ways. It is days like these that I am thankful for the faith we share and the confidence we have in God’s ultimate love, care, and assurance. It may be all that gets us through. I hope everyone has a blessed Wednesday and a safe week until we come together to worship at Pentecost.
I will be out of town from 5/26 (next Wednesday) to 6/2 and unavailable via cellphone from the 27th-1st. If you have a pastoral emergency Ben Wolf (Salem) will be available at (252)567-3210. He and our lay leader Carolyn Allen will have the number to reach me.
I’m trying to add more detail to our prayer list. If you’d like to add a prayer or some detail to a name or if I’ve forgotten anyone, feel free to email and I will update the list. Those of you worshiping online only can also call me with prayer requests if needed.
Our Google Meet will continue on in Genesis this Sunday with and Genesis 30:1-24
