Well, we certainly got the April showers, I wonder if we’ll have May flowers now.


This year is flying by, is it not? I hope you are cherishing these days with family and loved ones. 


I want to encourage you that while time certainly is passing us by, there is always enough time to do what you want to do. You see, I’m a firm believer that most people take the time to do the things they want to do, I mean really want to do. If we truly value our time watching football, we’ll make time to watch football. If we value our time playing golf, we will find ways to play golf. If we truly value family and friends, we make time to see and spend time with family and friends. And if we truly value church and church events, we make time to participate in church and church events.


I also want to acknowledge that this truism does not hold true for those who have to work 60-80 hours a week just to get by.


Instead of turning this into a preachy newsletter article, I’d much rather ask the question, “What do your time commitments say you value?”


If I’m being honest, my time commitments say I value church work, my family, and school work, and also sleep.


As we move into our summer months, what will take up your time? What will you commit to? Also, what could the church do that might make you want to participate more?


We have a lot going on this summer, and we will have a lot going on this fall. Keep your eyes on the “coming up” schedule to see what things you might want to attend and/or how you might serve!


With much love,
Pastor Drew

April 2025


As we enter the month of April I want to ask that you would join with me in prayer for our community and those around us. People everywhere are hurting in one way or another and many people are scared, especially those around us who are most vulnerable. Pray with me that we would have eyes to see them and an overwhelming desire to help. Because it is precisely at this time of year that we remember that we received the greatest gift and help of all, Jesus’ death and resurrection.


We are coming up quickly on Easter and with it we have several opportunities for you to join with us in worship and also in outreach. If you’ll remember, last year at our Easter egg hunt we had over 150 people come in to our facilities and participate with us. We would love for you to find someone on the education team, Melissa, or Allison and ask them how you can get involved in helping with this ministry to our community. The egg hunt will take place on Saturday, April 19 at 2pm. Before that, we will have a youth event with activities and lunch for them as well as utilizing them to hide the eggs throughout the church. This youth event will start at 10am on Saturday, April 19 as well.


On Thursday, April 17 at 5:30pm we will have our annual Maundy Thursday service. Make plans to attend and join us for a reflective time on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.


I want to encourage you that our church is doing some really good work. We have had some visitors who are turning into regular attenders, and we are reaching out to our community in many different ways. Please keep an eye out for the many ways you can get involved and serve your community with the love of God.


I love you,


Pastor Drew
