Howdy Pardners,
Well here we are in October, and it's 89 degrees outside. Wow. Just wow. Anyway, I'm grateful for the weather we're having rather than what those in the southeast have been experiencing. Please keep praying for those affected by the recent storms and for all who have arrived to help.
In Romans 5:1-2 we read "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God."
Peace is more than the imagined, vaporous, whimsical wish of folks who want everyone to get along and things to be calm. The peace the apostle Paul describes is true peace with God. This peace goes much deeper than simply our desire for calmness and a lack of conflict. Jesus, through his sacrificial obedience to God, has made peace with God real for us. Yes, God provided it by grace. Yes, God is the one who ensures it because of that grace. But, because this peace is tied to him and his character, we can rejoice and anticipate being caught up in the glory of our majestic and holy God in whom we have eternal peace.
Upcoming Events:

We'll be packing Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child on Thursday October 24th and Sunday October 27th. This ministry and mission opportunity is a blessing all around. You get to have fun filling the boxes for boys and girls, the child who receives the gift feels the love of you and of God.
