A Word from Our Pastor

If you were there Sunday, you know I wasn’t there.  I attended the wedding of one of our members who got married on Saturday evening in Yorktown, VA.  So my friend and mentor Dr. Wright Doyle stood in for me since Pastor Tag was on vacation.  The wedding was a joyous celebration of the goodness of God, as this member lost his first wife to cancer.  He married another believer in Jesus who herself suffered the loss of her first husband.  It was a moment to remember.

For me the weekend ended on a sad note, as I attended the memorial service of an acquaintance of mine.  It was completely different than the services I’ve done in that there were no prayers or Scripture readings. I’m thinking a lot about that, and about the fact that so many of our friends and neighbors have a completely different way of looking at life and death.  I look forward to some chances this fall to share some of my reflections on that difference of opinion about the life to come.

I hope to see you this Sunday.  Don’t miss August 24, our “Back to School” Sunday and the start of our 2014-15 Foundations classes at 9:15.  We will help you get plugged into to groups and ministries as part of our Fall Charge Up campaign.  Lots of excitement around the office this week as we prepare in anticipation of that day!

In Him,

Don
