Worship - May 28, 2023
Acts 2:1-6, 12-21, John 7:37-39
​“Are you Thirsty?"
Pastor Steve Johnson

Picture
     As a church family we are living in uncertain times. At our Church Conference on March 29, the congregation voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church. This decision must be ratified by members of the Arkansas Conference on May 13. What if they don't ratify our congregation's vote to disaffiliate? What if they do? It seems as if we have more questions than answers.
     Psychologists recommend that when facing times of anxiety and uncertainty, we should control what we can, prepare for possible scenarios as best we can, and continue to persevere one day at a time. As our questions get answers we can proceed in making necessary decisions. We will continue with our usual weekly schedule of activities, Sunday School, and worship. We will be in mission in our community. We will minister to one another and those outside our congregation. Let us pray that God will guide us through these trying times.
​     My prayer is that we will remain together as a church family, continuing to love one another, support one another and pray for one another. May we not allow the distractions and difficulties of the disaffiliation process to dissuade us from fulfilling our mission of developing deeply devoted disciples of Jesus Christ.
