Pastoral Epistle – March 11 2026
Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24
The Lord had a purpose beyond our comprehension in giving us the Law. The law that was given through Moses was to guide us in God’s way. It was to help us to follow God’s principles of life. It was to teach us that all of us have sinned against God. But it was also given as a tutor that brings us to Christ.
We are thankful for our Youth Led Service last Sunday. Deep appreciation to our youth for leading the service. A Big Thank you to our youth leaders for training our youth for the service. Keep up your good work!
