Pastor Nelda’s Notes -” For I am with You”

?

“Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” (Psalm 41:10) {{more: Continue …}}

God is both the first and the last. He also has authority over everything in-between. This means that there absolutely is a plan of God for human history, and He directs the path of human events toward His designed fulfillment. Our lives are not given over to blind fate, to random meaninglessness, or to endless cycles with no resolution. Instead, the Lord God who is the first and the last directs all of human history and even our individual lives.

?

During this time of fear and anxiety, pray. Pray without ceasing. Take time to meditate and read God’s Word. God is changing things. In this change we all must change. COVID19 is no discriminator. We are all vulnerable.

?

Please continue to follow the directions of the CDC and government officials. We must adapt our lives and our thinking to weather this Pandemic. This is something we have never faced before., therefore, we must cooperate with each other and care for one another.

?

If you or someone you know is in need, please let me or someone in the church office know. You can contact me directly at 937-626-9397 or Laurie at 817-448-3241.

?

Our church is doing its best to continue to serve the community. We have stocked the Food Pantry so feel free to call or let us know if you are aware of someone in need, we are eager to serve God’s people and the community.

?

Also, one of the very real challenges our church faces is the potential decline in giving. Please don’t hold back your tithes/offerings to the Lord out of uncertainty for what is to come. Some of us may simply forget because there is no offering plate passing in front of us. I hope you will join me in staying the course.

?

God has blessed us with a generous family of faith, and we are hoping to stay fully engaged in serving you and the community during this time of uncertainty. If you need someone to come by and pick up your Tithes/Offering, please let us know.

?

Please call somebody, ask if they need anything. Let them know this is a health and welfare check, but we’re here to help.

?

All activities at FUMC Kennedale have been canceled through March 29th. We will continue to monitor national, state and local news reports and keep you advised.

?

“I don’t know how, but I know WHO!”
