Stewardship Thought – Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think …” We often shortchange God by failing to remember what Paul says here: God can do far more than what we can think or ask. His power, and His love, are without bound and without measure. So why do we fear to follow His word? Isn’t it in fact fear that keeps us back from a life of joyous generosity and open-handedness? But God is able to do far more abundantly! So let us not be afraid to take the Lord at his Word and live according to it.

“Pastor wants to visit you” I know summer tends to be busy, but I’d love to meet and connect with you outside of Sunday service at your homes for 30 plus minutes just to get to know you. If you might have any fears of contact, I’ve completed the vaccination series as of mid-April. I’m hoping to start meeting with y’all from June through July for now. Please take a look at the sign up sheet on the table in the Narthex and see what dates would work best for you. I’m fairly flexible with time. It’s been a pleasure to pastor the congregation, it’ll be my pleasure to get to know you. God’s peace, Pastor Daniel Vang.
