Pastor's Page November 2023

November has arrived, and with it, comes thoughts of the three months journey we have taken together as a congregation. All I can say is that I feel very appropriately thankful! This month is a month for us all to take time to practice gratitude. Setting aside time to pray, to think about the many precious and wonderful gifts we have been given, refocuses us, helps us to remain positive, and see our God is so, very good to us.

Here are a few things I am thankful for:

• Living in a community where my children can go to sleep at night feeling safe.
• Having reliable electricity! It is a luxury not to have our power off 10 hours a day. ☺
• That we have been embraced as a family by our new faith family.
• That my husband has been with us for a little under a month.
• I have spent more time with my mother in these last months than I have since I’ve been married.
• That our God’s love is unending, unconditional, and never changing.

I could carry on and on! There are so many gifts our Father in heaven has given to us. I challenge each and every one of us to use this month as an opportunity to practice the art of giving thanks.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Col. 3:17

With Thanks,

Pastor Jess
