An Invitation to Discipleship from Pastor Don

“To follow Jesus Christ is the most important decision you will ever make. If you have not made this decision, then a simple prayer, offered in faith can be the beginning of a new life for you. Let me encourage you to pray: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner. Thank you for the grace of your Son Jesus Christ, poured out on the cross for my forgiveness. I confess him as my Savior, put my whole trust in his grace and promise to serve him as my Lord. Thank you for the gift of eternal life, through Jesus Christ Amen”

As we prepare to say goodbye to the Thompson’s we would like to provide them with a generous love

offering, as you feel led, please mark your gifts with “Celebrate The Thompson’s" and place them

in the offering, or you can drop it by the church office or donate through the app (select the fund
