Happy Tuesday Reader, Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I am thrilled to share some fantastic updates and inspirational content with you this week. Our community is flourishing and expanding, and I am deeply thankful to everyone who contributes to this journey. Let’s continue to grow in faith and support one another. Health UpdateAs my health improves weekly, I am excited to return to the pulpit and preach very soon. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support during my recovery. Your encouragement has been a tremendous blessing. Thank you for being there for me. I want to share a thought from my journal: Today is a gift. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Take a moment today to appreciate the present and focus on what you can do now. Reach out to someone you love, spend time in prayer, or lend a helping hand to someone in need.
What one thing can you do today to make a positive impact? Special Thanks to Min. Marcie Stowers-Wilson I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Min. Marcie Stowers-Wilson for her outstanding leadership in our recent service. She did an exceptional job sitting in the producer’s chair during our livestream and delivering a powerful sermon. Sermon: “Father Knows Best” Scripture: 1 John 3:1-2 This past Sunday, the Sunday before Father’s Day, Min. Marcie led us through 1 John 3:1-2 with her sermon, “Father Knows Best.” She explored our Heavenly Father’s profound love and wisdom, showcasing God’s immense love for us and the promise of our future hope. This sermon reminded us of God’s incredible love, our identity as His children, and the glorious future that awaits us when Christ returns. Watch the replay of Min. Marcie Stowers-Wilson’s message below. I’ve already cued it up for you. Enjoy!
