Hi Springfield,

I woke up this morning with 2 Timothy 4 on my mind. There in verse 17 the Apostle Paul says, “but the Lord stood by my side and gave me strength.” Earlier in the chapter, Paul talks about people who have made his life hard and being deserted by some friends. But in summary, Paul says the Lord stood by my side and gave me strength. Remember in this season the Lord promises to stand by our side and give us strength. If God could do it for the Apostle Paul, He can do it for us right now.

HOMECOMING 2020

The first Sunday in November we will be celebrating our 154th Homecoming. What a blessing! As you know, we’re planning a drive-in worship service at 10am. Much work and planning has gone into this event. I want to thank everyone who has worked to make this event possible. In next week’s email, I will share some information about arrivals and parking. Again, we solicit your prayers and ask for your patience. I believe God will be glorified and can’t wait to see you there.
