A Note From Pastor Robyne
Hello friends,
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” — Psalm 100:4 (NKJV)
As we approach Thanksgiving 2025, my thoughts are drawn to the devotional invitation found in Psalm 100:4 — to come before the Lord with thanksgiving, to lift our hearts in praise, and to bless His holy name.
This year, I invite you to pause long enough to truly enter His presence with gratitude. Allow your heart to reflect on the quiet ways God has sustained you, the prayers He has answered, the mercies He has extended, and the grace He has poured out day after day.
As I reflect personally, I am deeply grateful for the ways I see your desire to grow in the Word, in your compassion for one another, and in your willingness to serve. This shows me, God is at work among us, shaping us, leading us, and forming us more into the image of His Son.
Thanksgiving also reminds us that God is present in every season. In moments of abundance, He is our Provider. In times of waiting, He is our Hope. In times of sorrow, He is our Comforter. And in every step of our journey, He walks beside us with unfailing love.
As you gather around your tables this Thanksgiving, I encourage you to make room not only for fellowship with one another, but also for quiet fellowship with the Lord. Offer Him your thanks. Whisper your praise. Acknowledge His goodness. And let your heart rest in the assurance that He is near.
.This Sunday we conclude our sermon series, "Living Faith" and our message is "Stay in Love with God." Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
See you Sunday at 10am.
God bless you all
Pastor Robyne
