A Moment with the Pastor
What a warm reception we received Sunday after returning from Israel. We had a
wonderful pilgrimage to the Holy Land where Jesus walked and the site of most of our biblical
revelation. At each of our stops I would have our people read Scripture that pertained to that
site and then voice a prayer of thanksgiving. It was truly a spiritual experience for 44 people.
In a few weeks we plan on showing slides of our tour on a Sunday night.
Please remember our semi-annual time change is this Saturday night. We spring forward and will lose an hour.
So, I hope to see you on time on Sunday.
Travis
From our Serve Pastor:

across from the elevator near the Chapel.
