Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Joyful greetings, and a radiant Happy Mother’s Day to every Troy Church mom! We celebrate you today. Your tireless love, fierce care, and unwavering devotion for the children who once stirred beneath your heart continually reflect and reaffirm the tender, pursuing love of our heavenly Father. God could have composed humanity through countless alternatives, yet He crafted the family and honored us with birth through a mother’s body. In doing so, He etched an eternal design that links earth to heaven and breathes identity and mission into every soul.

A woman becomes a mother when new life breaks forth from her own flesh, fulfilling the earliest divine commission to “be fruitful.” That miracle still echoes the majestic decree, “Let us make mankind in Our image,” a design written in DNA, immune to time and the wreckage of sin.

As God’s gathered family this morning, let us rise to bless the women through whom the Lord daily pours life, mercy, and hope. May your day overflow with joy, strength, gratitude, and the Spirit’s gentle embrace.

This Wednesday – 14^th May – Fellowship Dinner & Bible Class – 6:00PM

Please make plans to join us for our BYOD (Bring Your Own Dinner) mid-week Fellowship at 6PM on Wednesday. This is a great time to connect, strengthen relationships and catch up with one another.

“There is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood.”
