Whether health, relationships, finances, work, or even your faith, there is perhaps at least one area of your life with some serious unknowns. If 2020 has taught us anything, it is this: we can’t always know what is coming. But facing unknowns doesn’t mean you are unknown. And being known can help us with all the unknowns. We may not know what 2021 will bring, but we do know God loves us, God knows us, and God is at work for good in all things. On January 10, we’re excited to begin a six-week sermon series titled “Known in the Unknown.” Together, we’ll look at lessons from Joseph’s life in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, to encourage us as we face the unknown, learning to trust God with our today and our tomorrows. Joseph endured many challenges in his life where his
future was not only unknown but even questionable! Yet, God was at work throughout Joseph’s story. What others intended for evil, God intended for good. We hope to see you in person or online for worship in the new year. Our Lead Pastor, Doyle Sager, and his family continue to be overwhelmed by your kindness, generosity, and prayers on their behalf as Doyle receives cancer treatments. They are encouraged by your love and prayers. We continue to ensure Doyle has the cards and notes you send to the church office. You may find the most recent updates from Doyle and his family at Doyle’s Caring Bridge site: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/doylesager Grace and Peace in Christ,
