​From the Pastor’s Desk
May 2025


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
