STC! Subject to Change--Richard, 3/27/2019

“Spring has arrived! March Madness is now down to the final 16! We are only 4 weeks away from Easter weekend! This time of the year is always filled with excitement! And I have to say being in worship with this church family the past 8 weeks has been exciting! The worship team is doing a great job in leading us to lift our voices in praise to the Lord; the men sharing in the Communion Meditations are helping us focus on just why we take the Lord’s Supper each week; those serving as Greeters make you feel you’re glad to be here; and where would we be without all the volunteers serving in the Nursery-Kids’ Zone ministries! Let me also add that the church staff is doing a super job during this transition. Adam is really giving 100% to his ministry & even going over & beyond the call! Carol & Jennie are doing a super job in the church office making sure during the week all programs & especially prayer updates are sent out. And it goes without saying that you as a church family are so encouraging in our serving as Interim Minister. Patty & I feel very much at home.

I would challenge you to daily be in prayer for the Search Team as they continue to receive resumes & applications for the Senior Minister Position. Please pray for each individual team member & then for all of them to be united in their mission. Richard Phelps as chairman of this Team certainly needs our support & prayers. And don’t forget to add that one person/family who will feel the desire to come and serve with you as Senior Minister.

Most of all, please be inviting your friends, co-workers, classmates, family members to come worship the Lord with you on Sundays!

Here’s the line-up for the month of April:

April 7- The Passion Of Easter- Part III- “Experience Complete Forgiveness”

April 14-The Passion Of Easter-Part IV- “Experience Hope”

April 21- ADULT CHOIR PRESENTS “Jesus Only King Forever”

                The Passion Of Easter- Part V-“Experience The Ultimate”

April 29- AFTER EASTER THEN WHAT?

Please also note that on Sunday night April 14- Our Kids Choir will present a very special Easter Program.

And on Sunday night, April 28- The Lindsey Wilson Choir will present their Spring Concert

Let me close out my article with this: the letters STC are now a part of the church in transition. Most of you know what they stand for, but let me remind you, Subject To Change. So whether it’s on a Sunday morning or Sunday night, even Wednesday night, or some other day of the week, you may think ‘hmmm, we’ve always done it that way”, but catch yourself and say, ‘but it’s STC’! As a church & especially as leadership our purpose & mission never changes, but how we fulfill them may mean change. Prayerfully support & accentuate the positive! Let’s bring people to Jesus!
