A story of Hospitality

A story of Hospitality..


It's amazing how strong a first impression is.  It's also amazing how a simple gesture can change someone's life. The first step is just feeling...welcome.

The reason why you are all getting this Newsletter, is because you serve here at the Church.  As you know there is a constant group of people that always step out in service when things are needed. 
In my heart though, I know everyone should be reaching outside of themselves.  People who come to service each weekend but then go home.  
How do we reach them?  
We invite them to serve alongside us.  We ask them to do what we do.  

Ephesians 4:12
Their purpose is to prepare God's people to serve and to build up the body of Christ.

The body is everyone.  Let's work together as a team to invite and ask others to walk along side us and serve.  
If you have time...this is a great sermon on service

Thank you to each one of you for giving your time and hearts and serving here at the church.  The church wouldn't be the church without you!
God Bless!
