The choirs and praise team will lead both services on June 22. Using music, narration, and the Word, the choirs will lead us through a journey celebrating our church’s heritage and history.
But more than a look into the past, we will celebrate how God has always been faithful to us. As written in the letter to the Hebrews, we are surrounded by a “great cloud of witnesses.”
As we enter this transition period between pastors, we will look to the past so we can be better prepared to move into the future. Whether you have been part of our church for 6 decades or for 6 weeks, we have all been called to this church. This is our time, and we can move forward in faith because God has always been faithful ….
He’s Always Been Faithful
Faithful in Character…
The book of Psalms fills us with inspiration and teaching of praise in worship; God changes not, and He is always worthy of our praise and worship…
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”
“Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music.
“I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.”
NIV
Faithful in Presence…
God has always been faithful in His provision of buildings, leaders, and other resources. Our roots trace to the early days of the Pitman Camp meeting and extend into our current home and the torch that has been passed to us.
For over 125 years, God has called us to know Him, to grow in faith together, and go to serve that others may know Him as Lord and Savior. Through all times of transition, God has been faithful. Solomon marked a time of transition when the temple was completed…
Faithful in Hope…
As we go forward into the future with a new pastor, new leaders, new ideas, new energy, we remember that God is already ahead of us and remains our true Vision. The music we sing during this service was written in the past by great witnesses of faith. But these witnesses called us to go forward to answer God’s call. Just as God empowered His saints in the past, He reminds us that He will lead us into the future.
Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.
8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” NIV
To God alone be the glory!
