Dear First Family,

What a wonderful blessing this past Sunday was! You are a gracious and kind people and your welcome to me as your new pastor could not have been better. I look forward to our days ahead!

Sunday is Mother’s Day. We will take time during worship to allow parents to dedicate their children to the Lord. This is a time for, not only the parents, but the church as a whole to enter into a commitment to do all we can to help these children come up in the love and admonition of the Lord. As parents invest their lives in our church, where they will raise their children, we, as a body of believers, should be careful to come alongside the family and do our part to help and guide their children in the ways of the Lord. May our every action encourage and strengthen them in their walk to know Christ at an early age!

I have appreciated your prayers and encouragement during my time of finishing one ministry and arriving as your pastor. As an update to your prayers, now please pray that God will bless our efforts as we strive to move forward together in His Name. My family will be here in the coming days as they finish up the school year. We anticipate our move in June, and we seek His discernment and some open doors (literally) as we strive to secure housing.

We are blessed to be here. We look forward to the days ahead. It is a joy to be your pastor.

Daniel
