Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. – Psalm 30:4-5 (NASB)
Blessed New Beginnings
King David had blown it. He became proud and God humbled him. His sinful pride affected the entire kingdom, but God brought redemption and new beginnings. David saw God exchange his death for life, his night for morning, his pride for humility, and his mourning for dancing. Bless God!

Search Committee Updates
Both our youth and music search committees are continuing to pray and wait patiently for qualified resumes. Continue to keep them in your prayers and keep your eyes and ears open for God’s leadership in this process.
Meanwhile, we thank God for Dr. Marshall, our choir and band for their dedication to leading us in worship! Also, we are thankful for Mae McBride, Connie Wilson, Kristi Hutter, Dayna Marshall, Greg Schulz and others who have stepped up to lead in our youth and children’s areas. Give thanks!
Think About It… “A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God’s store of grace from day to day as we need it.” – Dwight L. Moody
