Our June message from Andrea Lawson:

We all go through changes in our lives.  Daily we deal with change whether it is changing what we wear to how we respond to situations. Sometimes we go through bigger, harder changes.   Day to day we need God to help us get through whatever change may come our way. 

As our Church prepares for the change in ministerial leadership we are often apprehensive about this change.  We get comfortable in a routine and with certain people.  We need to keep our focus on what God’s plan is for us.  Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

So as our vessel or minister changes, our goals and missions to bring people to Christ do not change.   Malachi 3:6 God says, “For I am the Lord, I change not.” What a comfort that gives us.  God’s love for us never changes.  The vessel in which God sends the message may change, but his word and promises do not. 

Let us ALL embrace change and know that God has a plan.
