To my faith family,
As we welcome the month of May, we’re filled with gratitude for the renewal of life that surrounds us. With blossoming flowers, warmer days, and longer evenings, it’s a season of change and excitement.
I have thoroughly enjoyed our “Mark” series. I love walking with Jesus in Mark! Our next series, “The Wisdom of God” will begin on the first Sunday of June. This series is going through parts of the Proverbs. Our goal as the pastoral staff is to show how “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” is for us and how He has accomplished salvation for us. We can attain wisdom through the Spirit through faith in Christ Jesus!
Special Sundays – May is a month of celebration and reflection. Please mark your calendars for these Sundays, specifically :
1. Mother’s Day (May 11th)
2. Graduate Recognition (May 18th)
Our youth and children’s ministries are in full swing, getting ready for the summer. We are already looking forward to VBS and what God is going to do in and through us this year, June 2nd-5th, at WABC! Be sure to volunteer if you haven’t. The vast majority of conversions happen when a person is a child. VBS has eternal importance! Come and serve that week!
God is continuing to do mighty and wonderful work among our faith family. I love hearing some of the stories of how God is moving in and among you. I love hearing of people who you shared the love of Jesus with. I love hearing of answered prayers and healing. I love seeing you truly be the body of Christ to one another and to our community. May we continue to press on to the goal set before us in the power of the Spirit, trusting that better days are ahead for Woodward Avenue. I am hopeful for what lies ahead for our faith family. (Romans 15:13)
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
In Jesus’ Love
Pastor Tyler
