“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.”
Luke 2:52
This year’s Awana ministry seems to have found the favor of the Lord. Each year we have been blessed with an amazing number of children coming to learn God’s Word. Some age groups actually reached the limit of how many children they can accommodate. Together, the Awana Ministry brought and donated over 950 jars of jelly. Their year end Awards Banquet filled up the house of the Lord and the Children’s program was outstanding as the Gospel was told through the words and action of the children, led by their dedicated leaders. Well done everyone involved!
We celebrated the season’s last Wednesday night supper with a free meal. We did say donations to James Island Outreach would be accepted for that night. Turns out we will be able to give James Island Outreach and additional $473. It is the favor of the Lord.
The Kitchen Renovation, a project years in the making, finally has happened. There is a relatively small punch list to be completed. I would say it is about 99% complete. It did not keep our Kitchen Krew from presenting their amazing signature dish of fried chicken, Mac-n-Cheese and banana pudding! Wow. Thank you for a great year of serving!
Last, but in no way least, the favor of the Lord is upon us in calling our new staff member, Josh Sorrow and his sweet family. It seemed like our Father in Heaven just kept leading and affirming every step of the process.
I pray that in our individual lives and in the life of our families, we will continue to experience the wonderful favor of the Lord. Blessings to you.
Pastor Tom
