From the Pastor's Heart

Church Family, 

 

Colossians 1:27 says, "To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." In this section of scripture, Paul uses this language of mystery a few times. What is the mystery? Well that the Gentiles could have Christ in them! The marvelous riches of the grace of God is manifest not just to the Jews, but even the Gentiles! And that was big news then and very important news for us, as I'm sure we are predominantly, if not all, a bunch of Gentiles! But with that, I want us to think about this even more personally. When you think about your life and your own personal sin struggles, do you ever marvel at the mystery that God would save you? It's a humbling and glorious thing that He would make me His child. And I praise God for it! 

 

As for announcements, don't forget, if you signed up to attend the Revelation Conference at New Prospect Baptist Church, then it begins tomorrow (Friday) evening. I know we have a handful of members that have signed up, so I look forward to seeing you there! Dr. Tom Schreiner is a great bible scholar, and I'm excited about what he has to share with us this weekend. 

 

Second, the social team needs your help stuffing eggs! Our Easter Egg Hunt is just around the corner, and with that, the eggs are out and ready to be picked up and filled. So if you haven't grabbed any yet and you're able, please grab some on Sunday. If you have grabbed some already, you can bring them back as soon as you're done and we will just collect them over in the same place that you picked them up. Thank you for helping in this way!

 

Finally, as I mentioned Sunday, Fostering the Family would love to have as many people as we can be a part of their portal so that any needs that come through can have multiple sets of eyes on it. So if you haven't yet and you're willing, you can sign up to be a part of the portal at this link:

Remember, all signing up does is send you emails when needs come through here in Anderson county. And if you do sign up, please let Hannah Miller know by telling her at church or emailing her at hannahmiller1@pickens.k12.sc.us

 

With that, I'll see you on Sunday!
