A Message from the Pastor - October 7, 2021

    roadside cleanup, fafsa workshop, wings ministry, caregiver community event, 2021, municipal elections

    Hi Springfield,

    “Do everything in love.” These are the words from 1 Corinthians 16:14. This is Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian church. Just three chapters earlier, Paul shared with them the importance of love. As Paul concludes this letter to them, he reminds them that everything they do, should be done in love. Every word, action, deed, and thought should be motivated by love. Those are powerful and wise words from the Apostle Paul to the members of the Corinthian church. Springfield let’s strive to live by those words as well. Here are just a few of the wonderful things happening at our church and in our community.  

    ROADSIDE CLEANUP

    Roadside cleanup is scheduled for next Saturday, October 16th at 9am. Our roadside cleanup was cancelled in September due to the church outing. So, we’ll need extra help and workers for the 16th. Please make plans to attend and help keep our adopted stretch of Auburn-Knightdale Road clean and pristine.
