Hello! I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, I know that I did. 

On November 25th I read from several different Psalms and talked about the importance of praising and giving thanks to God.  We heard testimonies from lots of the church about how God has been working or how they have seen God this past year.  It was an uplifting service, listen here. 

On December 2 we will start our Advent series.  This is a wonderful time of year where we celebrate the coming of our Lord! This year I will be focusing on Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I hope that you will join us as we celebrate the Advent season this year.  I am praying for each one of you.

Hello! Well this week is Thanksgiving Sunday.  For Christians Thanksgiving is so much bigger than just saying what you are thankful for.  Our God is good and our God has given us many blessings.  This week remember what God has done for you and give thanks!

On Sunday I will preach from Joshua 4.  Read it so that you can be prepared as we talk about Stones of Remembrance.  We will also celebrate what God has done in the life of our church and our own dear Sarah.

I look forward to seeing you and celebrating together.  Remember that you are loved!

Greetings to you! With Halloween over we move into the wonderful holiday season.  Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away.  I love this time of year!

On Sunday I will be concluding our study of "Signals at the Crossroads."  I will be preaching about vision - moving forward from the crossroads into the ministry and plan God has for Harvest Point Church.  What an exiting time for our church!

Just as a reminder, this week is the election, so get informed and go vote.  Also, remember that we are Christians and citizens of God's Kingdom above any worldly grouping.  Keep that at the forefront of your minds and check out this article, 7 Things Christians Need to Remember About Politics:  http://www.relevantmagazine.com/current/politics/7-things-christians-need-remember-about-politics

I am praying for you~
