Hello and greeting from your pastor! I wish you a safe and blessed time as you are set apart with your God. Paul was in our situation but he was in jail. God set him apart so he could write letters and encouragement to those that were watching his faith while he was in chains.
Fortunately our situation is not quite as dire as Pauls. He could not order out, or watch TV, or share video time with his relatives. As Ben and I mentioned in our message on the 22nd, the tithes from the church are just as important now as before even though the ushers are there to collect them. We have people in need and our costs still go on. Fortunately, our building is paid for so the money we acquire can go to our missions and the people in need. But that requires that we stay faithful in our giving so we will have something to come back to.
Please, if you haven't go to the website and watch or listen to the messages brought, stay up with the blogs and comment on your own reading. We are in this together, contact us for ways we can help you or a neighbor. You reach out to those elderly that you know to lift them up just by the sound of your voice.
You can send your tithes and offerings through the mail to
New Life Foursquare - 1090 N. 1st Stayton, Or. 97383
Or drop it by the church on Tuesdays or Fridays from 9-12.
Thank you and I pray that we all use this time to draw closer to God and renew our faith by leaning on Him as our protection.
Pastor Brent and Eileen
