Invite Everyone, Invest In People, Impact Eternity
What a joy to be in Texas for my granddaughter’s baptism Sunday past! That’s four of the seven who know Christ and have followed him in baptism. Nothing is more satisfying for a
Christian grandparent than to see another generation of the family follow Jesus. I’m grateful Brent gladly preached in my place on Sunday. No doubt you gained from his preaching. June is the month when we give over and above offerings to Pure Water, Pure Love. Our Women on Mission group spearheads this effort. Money raised in this initiative sup-plies clean water filters to missionaries in countries without clean water. The money also pays for water projects in various places in the world that lack clean water. Did you know that 780 million people in the world lack clean water—a basic staple for life and a pre-venter of many diseases. Last year, PW, PL provided grants for clean water resources in Haiti, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Uganda, Ghana, Cuba, India, Kenya, Puerto Rico, and the Do-minican Republic. This year, our gifts can impact other people in other countries in des-perate need for clean water. Our church goal is $15,000. Would you please pray about what God would have you give to this effort? Every time you get a drink of water, say a prayer for people who can’t do something as simple as that. And let’s be generous to help them. Thank you in advance. “I was thirsty,” said Jesus, “and you gave me a drink.” Let’s join the effort. This Sunday we begin a summer series called Road Trip. Will be road tripping through the book of Acts. Pentecost Sunday was on May 20. We’re a little late to the party, but better late than never. Let’s explore the birth of the church this Sunday. See you then. Your Pastor, John
