like them very much – age 26 I’ve learned it is taking me a long time to become the
person I want to be – age 51 I’ve learned that you can’t tell how far a frog will
jump just by looking at him – age 79. I’ve learned I still have a lot to learn – age 92 ♦♦♦♦♦ Good news! As of Sunday, June 7th 2020 we are able to worship in the sanctuary.

SUNDAY’S SERMON for December 13th, 2020 Click
here to view Sunday's sermon ♦♦♦♦♦ From
the desk of Rev. Scott Lord God Almighty, shaper and ruler of all creatures, we pray for your great mercy, that you guide us towards you, for we cannot find our way. And guide us to your will,
to the need of our soul, for we cannot do it ourselves. And make our mind
steadfast in your will and aware of our soul’s need. Luke 10:21 21 At that very time He rejoiced greatly in
the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise
and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for doing so
was well pleasing in Your sight. ♦♦♦♦♦ HOSPICE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Are you looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity? Consider becoming
