Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Good morning and thank you for making it here today. As we’ve stepped into November, we’ve stepped into what in America is known, and labeled, as the season of Thanksgiving. We are indeed only a couple of weeks off from gathering around the table with our families and expressing our gratitude to God for the many provisions He has made for us this year. I love that our calendar ends every year with two months filled with the spirit of thanksgiving and cheerfulness for that is what we should rightfully focus on. I think it was Charles Spurgeon who said: “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” I’ll go a step further and say that joy is a state of being unrelated to how much we have or don’t have, and it is primarily express through gratitude for the little or the much that we have. I’ve seen people with plenty being plenty unhappy which is sad. Are you grateful today? What for?

This Wednesday – November 20^th – Family Time & Bible Study

On Wednesday, we will meet in person for our Family Time at 6:00PM for those of you who want to bring their meal and eat it in the company of other brothers and sisters. This is our bi-weekly fellowship meal.

From 7PM, we will have a time of study led by Pat Oja.
