From the desk of Pastor David,

The eighteenth-century poet Alexander Pope wrote that hope springs eternal. I just hope that spring replaces what seems like an eternal winter. Regardless of my meteorological musings, there is much to be excited about. Our new Vision Team is already hard at work managing the “business” of running a church and they are prioritizing two of our most pressing challenges: our mortgage and our boiler. I know that God is guiding them with great wisdom.

Our weekly attendance remains the highest it has been in the last three years, and we are seeing both new and returning members. Keep an eye out for a new Eagle Scout project and a new Girl Scout project on our grounds this summer. Our children’s Sunday School teachers are doing an awesome job with a growing number of kids. I know this to be true because I see their smiling faces after each class. Thank you again Pat, Nancy, Janice, and Natalia.

I’m very excited about the rest of 2024. We’re looking forward to the first of our two rummage sales in May. These are great fun, we meet many new folks, and the money raised helps to support our mission. I’m already working on our Lenten study series. And there is a new community project being worked on that has the potential to add even more blood to the veins of Grace Lutheran Church. It's too early to reveal any details yet, but I will definitely provide updates at the appropriate time.

It's an exciting time to be a member of Grace and I encourage everyone to become even more active in our programs here. I promise you will get back tenfold what you give in time and effort. May our God continue to bless you and your families this year as your witness gives hope and light to the world around us.

Amen,
Pastor David
