| Thank You Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer. As I've seen registrations for Alpha show up this week, I praise God for his people who pray. As I consider my time at Calvary, and stories I've been able to witness, I thank God for answers to prayer. As I overhear the concern brothers and sisters have for one another, I'm grateful that God hears your prayers.
Thank you for staying connected. You've been making and receiving phone calls. You've showered friends in need with cards and letters. I've seen your dedication to connecting with the body at our communion gatherings. I've heard about reading and re-reading worship mailings and devotions because they connect you to God's Word.
Thank you for sharing your faith. Too often sharing faith with and among the faithful is discounted, but it is crucial to the health of a church. I see you encouraging one another. I see those encouragements making their way out to the people around you as well. I've seen you asking to add friends to our mailing list. I've heard about invitations to church online, or Alpha, or Bible study. I've witnessed your eagerness at supplying God's Word through KAMP Calvary packets and Christmas in a Sack.
Thank you for praying for me. Thank you for connecting with my family and I. Thank you for the faith you model and share. This family, and your role here, is a support to my faith as well.
here for you,
Matt Behrens, Pastor
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. (Romans 15:5-7) | |
