Pastoral Epistle – December 7, 2022

Beloved Congregation,Greetings in Jesus! 
“In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.”   ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭19
We are in Advent Season.  We see beautiful decorations everywhere.   In the midst of all festivities there is anxiety.  Many are pushed into depression.  Only God can comfort us.  Only our Lord can delight our soul.  
This Saturday:  December 10th 7.00 pm we have our Christmas Cantata.   It will be an evening of celebration and delight.  Kindly join with family. Invite your friends. Let us make it a remarkable evening.  Please pray fervently for all who will participate in the cantata. Pray for good health for all of us.
