Martha and I want to thank you again for the time away to relax and to spend time with our family. While we enjoyed being away, we both love the relationship that we have with all of you and are ready to be back as part of this wonderful church family.
I am excited to begin preaching through the Acts of the Apostles starting next weekend. While I have preached many times from Acts, I have never preached through the book and anticipate it will take the next 10 months or so. Of course, we will take time to emphasize Christmas and Easter and other important issues that may arise.
I want to challenge you to recommit to your NEXT STEP. Do not let busyness take you away from what is most important – your relationship with Christ. We have a number of ways for you to get connected, and I hope you will find your place.
