Blessings in Christ,
I trust that this week finds each of you resting and living in the freedom Christ has accomplished for us. As we covered in our sermon this past Sunday, “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery (Galatians 5:1)”. I hope that you have praise regarding that freedom and of course that you have benefited for our recent sermon series through Galatians (info resource below).
I have a few announcements and resources to share with each of you for the week.
We will have Saturday Morning Bible study tomorrow, 2/12 at 9am.
This Sunday, we will NOT have our Adult Sunday School and have changed the time of our worship service to 11:30am. Reason being – Pastor Mike and possibly will be participating in the Patchogue Plunge at the Sandspit Marina at 10am. Details to be involved or simply to come for support will be provided below.

A summarised praise & prayer:
We have a host of people, issues of life, necessary healings, and areas of comfort that we continue to pray for so many. We praise God for the ability to gather as we do and the fellowship we share. All by and for the name of Jesus Christ.
Again, because of aforementioned details regarding this Sunday please remember that our worship service is postponed to 11:30am rather than our normal 10:30am time. Also, our Adult Sunday School is canceled.
I look forward to seeing and fellowshipping with each of you as time, availability, and interest may lead you.
By Christ’s continued mercy and grace,
Pastor Michael Miano
