We took note of “April Fool’s Day” this week. I am always reminded of the text wherein we read the Apostles being referred to as “fools for Christ”.

Lastly, I’d like to praise God and thank each of you for giving to our donation and fundraising efforts. This continues to be a success! We have a variety of giving ministry that I hope and trust each of us are sharing around the community and with those we spend time around. Please review and share the attached graphics.
We pray for our friends and family members in need of healing and/or good diagnosis’. We pray for peace for ourselves and those around us who may have lost loved ones and friends. We thank God for those who continue to advance and have advancing attitudes within Christianity and Preterism. We pray for peace in war-torn parts of the world and that violence would never be seen as the answer. We thank God for and trust that He will continue to “keep this church going”. For His glory alone and in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
I look forward to study, fellowship, and worship to be had this weekend. An April 2025 Monthly Calendar will be available this coming Sunday and we will be celebrating The Lord’s Table together.
By & for His glory alone,
Pastor Michael Miano
