E - Bulletin for November 15, 2019
Hi Everyone,
All the snow outside came so fast... what a change. God has the same power within our lives. One minute stress and calamity, the next, peace, perspective, hope. Yes, it can be that fast with us too. In this week's scripture lesson we're asked to realize that despite everything around seeming to fall apart, God is right in the middle of making things new for us and the world around us. So don't lose hope that you are on that path and that God is on the path with you. As for the snow, if it has you thinking about Christmas... feel free to get excited and see the fun things coming up.
God bless you,
Rev. Doug
