At the start of a new week ...

Good morning everyone! It's Monday morning, and what an awesome weekend!

Dennis brought us a great message about grace, yesterday! We all need grace and forgiveness, daily. I have posted my notes, click here. Thank you Dennis for a message given from the heart.

Other good things this weekend - Teen Challenge raised over $4,700 at their parking lot sale on Saturday! God is blessing this venture to help those with addiction in our commun ity! Then, yesterday evening we joind with multiple Susanville churches in praise and worship, at the Southern Baptist Church. What an atmosphere of love and grace! Our differences fell away and we were the body of Christ, unified and sharing in our love for Jesus! Great things are happening in our little city!

This is a new week. What new things are going to happen in your life in the coming days?
At the start of the week is a good time to reflect, and set ourselves goals. How did I do last week in my spiritual life? What things can I change, so that I will be closer to God in the coming days? Are there things I can do to remove distractions from my devotional time? Just some relevant questions...

During this season, we are seeking a closer walk with God. Easter was the start, but the way into God's presence is a progressive journey. He is standing waiting for us, with open arms. As we are told in James 4, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you". Let's all continue that journey and be mindful of Jesus' presence in our lives.

Have an awesome week! Love,

Pastor Gerry
