Office Update: Welcoming Amy Bergen
We have experienced a quick transition in our church office. At the beginning of Holy Week, Crystal Ware-Levacy had to resign her position as Office Manager due to family reasons. We are grateful for her time with us and wish her the very best.
This week, on April 6th, we were blessed to welcome Amy Bergen as our new Office Manager! Amy is a local Glen Dale resident and has already jumped in with both feet. While she will introduce herself more fully in the coming weeks, please join us in welcoming her to the team. We ask that you keep Amy in your prayers as she adjusts to this new role and learns the ropes of our community.
Compassion Ministry Easter Update
Thank you for your incredible generosity during our Easter Service! Because of your contributions to our compassion ministry project, we received enough donations to purchase beds, pillows, sheets, and frames for two young girls in need. These items are currently being delivered and will help this entire family take a meaningful step toward a promising future.
Additionally, we are reaching out to the family to see if they can use one of the three couches currently in our overflow area. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
 
A Moment to Breathe
Finally, In a world that often feels heavy, I want to invite you all to take a moment today to breathe deeply. Our peace does not come from the assurances of this world or the shifting balance of power, but from the steady truth that God is on the throne.
Even when things feel uncertain or the path ahead looks daunting, we can be certain of how the story ends: with Love’s victory over death and peace flowing like a river from the throne of God. That truth allows me to take my steps following our Risen Savior every single day.
 
Please pray with me these words from St. Francis of Assisi...
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
