Sowing Generously!
The cold and brown appearance of the ground gives me a sense of no life. As I look upward at the bare trees against a gray sky my faith and hope fade for a while. However, beneath the surface of the earth and within the branches of the trees there is life abounding. The life within is the result of a seed that was planted.

Prayer Concerns

The Bible has something to say about seeds. Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, God supplies seed to the sower and bread for food God will also increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of our righteousness. (2 Corinthians 9:10) Spiritually speaking there may be times when outwardly we appear like the landscape of the earth cold, barren, and bare. But on the inside God has planted a seed of eternity that will soon break out and blossom for the Lords glory! Galatians 3:29 records, If you belong to Christ then you are Abrahams seed and heirs according to the promise. The promise has been brought to us however now the seed of the promise is in our hands. I encourage you to sow generously. As you give of yourself for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord will supply and increase the store of your seed. Gods Blessings! Pastor Reid

Thank you to Pastor Bruce & Lisa Church!

Their word in song and the message from Matthew 11:28 -30, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Bruce and Lisa are a blessing to Gods kingdom. The church gives thanks for their ministry.
