Abide in Me
Over the past couple months, I have been meeting with our SFNAZ pre-teen girls and now I have started meeting with our SFNAZ teen girls to go through bible study titled “Defined: Who God Says You Are.” It has been a blessing to my soul to hear the girls share their reflections on the study, but even more impactful has been the reflection on my own life that the study topics and discussion has triggered. This week’s lesson was about…

A Word From Pastor Bill
March 26, 2020 I just wanted to update the church family on my health situation. It seems like the days go by and I think I have been better about reporting than I actually have been. The truth is, nothing is changing from the last 2.5 months. I went off chemotherapy, have been working on my general health, and will see the oncologist in a couple of weeks to receive the next “plan”. We haven’t been silent because we simply…

I have to be honest when all of this information for “social distancing” came into our lives I became very uneasy and trapped in my head. I was overthinking things and worrying too much. I am a very social human, as most of you know, and putting the limitations on the…

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.

Finding Our Way Through This Season!
We refer to this time of year as the “Christmas Season.” It begins the night before Thanksgiving and ends the Monday after New Year. It is a stretch of the year when we seem to go from holiday to holiday. Most of us experience this time as a mixed bag. On the one hand there are things we look forward to and enjoy greatly. On the other, most of us have things about the season we dread. How do we…
