Life’s Healing Choices

This Sunday we will begin a new sermon series on “Life’s Healing Choices”. This is a part of our church wide mission and ministry. Several wonderful things will happen. First, we have baptism scheduled for the first Sunday of this campaign! New life for new followers of Jesus. What a joy. Second, we will launch new weekday connection groups. Meeting in homes throughout the community spending time in fellowship, the Word, ministering to one another and reaching out to the community. What’s not to love? Third, we actually start a new Sunday Connection class with Dean Kelly as the leader. There is room for anyone who would like to be a part of this wonderful class. Fourth, I will be teaching a series of messages on “Life’s Healing Choices”. These messages are based on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5. I am very excited to share with the church family the kind of discipleship and Biblical teaching that we share weekly in Celebrate Recovery . The message of Celebrate Recovery is based on the Word of God and form the basis of a Christ centered 12 Step program. I anticipate healing and blessing from this series. It will be difficult for some to deal with their “junk”…but it can be liberating. If you are interested in how to get involved or find a connection group, please give us a call at the office, 762-0244. Last, we will be continually encouraging all our connection groups to be outwardly focused. What will your group do to take the Light of Christ to an area of darkness? Susan has a list of several ongoing ministries where you can plug in and participate. Your group is certainly free and encouraged to find areas where you have a passion to make a difference. It’s all good! It can all be one of “Life’s Healing Choices”.

Personal Word: Today, September 30, is Week 26 of our daughter Erin’s pregnancy. You have been so kind and gracious to let us share the journey of her incredibly difficult pregnancy with you. She has been in MUSC for a month this time. She was in and out before. She will stay until little Wyatt is born. We give thanks for bringing them safe this far. We continue asking for safety and wisdom on when, during the next two weeks, to deliver.



See you Sunday, good Lord willing,

Pastor Tom
