Amazing Grace

It’s exciting to sit back and see God at work! It was only one year ago that we were asking whether it was possible to have a part-time youth pastor. Though the church had for some time wanted one (and saw the great need), it was easy to question how it would take place. We asked “Would we even be able to find someone to work part-time? How could we pay for him?” We see now God’s amazing work in not only providing God’s man for the position but leading us to bring him on full-time. God surely does more that we can imagine or even think! And now in May, I found out that we received in offerings $12,858 (our budget is $12,051 for the month!) God surely is great and should receive all the glory.
Now, as we look to our future as a church body, better equipped to meet the needs of our body and the unchurched (especially for the youth and young adults) we need to wait on Him in dependence and ask Him, “What next?” He will direct us, sustain us, provide all that is needed, and it is only for us to recognize His amazing work and give Him all the credit. How exciting these days are as the Lord builds His church and does it His way!
