This past week has been very significant in the life of our congregation...
~ We had a joyous birth of a new covenant child into our church family. He is our friends' first baby and it has been an exciting time.
~We had a death of a dear sister in the Lord, who left a husband and three sons behind. Our hearts are sorrowing with our brother and his family, and yet we rejoice for the one who has passed on to an eternity with Jesus. The visitation is tonight and the funeral is tomorrow.
A new life, and an end of life all in one week. Yesterday, our pastor preached on "The Love of God" and how we can trace that divine, compassionate, overwhelming love of God in every situation of the believers life. We can easily see it with the joyous times, but in the sorrowing times it is there just the same, in the most beautiful, tender way. I am reminded of the scripture that speaks of the day of ones death being better than the day of ones birth. For has not our sister's eternal supreme joy just begun? An eternity of communion with her altogether lovely Savior. Our pastor's sermon was so very timely and a huge blessing to our church body. To hear his sermon click HERE.
