October Newsletter
Hello Church Family,
September was full of fun family and ministry opportunities as well as some medical challenges for members of our congregation. On Labor Day, Celeste and I took Pierce to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Celeste had been to the festival previously, but this was the first time for Pierce and I. We had a good time visiting different stalls, seeing many people in costumes, and exploring the different areas of the festival grounds. We plan on returning next year so that Pierce can walk around and explore more once he is older. Later in the month, I had the pleasure of joining Luke Brittan and other pastors at Grace Baptist Church in Troy for their monthly association meeting in Cedarville. Their church is part of the Ohio Association of Regular Baptist Churches, and Luke offered me the chance to see what their group of churches are doing throughout Ohio. We stopped by Cedarville University to hear Alistair Begg speak in chapel and then attended a luncheon for the OARBC. They have exciting church plants starting in Utah and in Boston Massachusetts, and it was encouraging to see how God is moving in these areas of the country that desperately need healthy churches.
Other than these special events, I continued my regular rhythm of pastoral ministry. The Stillwater Pastoral Fellowship started up again after a summer break, so I will be travelling to Greenville once a month to spend time with other local pastors. I enjoyed visiting with several church members at their homes. Unfortunately, I have also visited several church members with medical problems, such as Connie Ely at Miami Valley Hospital in downtown Dayton. Terri Poling, Pete Brown, and other church members need our prayers as they battle through their daily pain.
As we look forward to our upcoming October events, I would encourage you to come and join us at our weekly prayer meetings on Thursday nights at 5:30pm. If you are unable to make it, pray that our hearts would be revived by the Spirit and energized with new purpose as we join together to praise God and intercede for our brothers and sisters in Christ, our community, and our world. Look out for our Harvest Party on October 11, and join our God’s Promises in Biblical Prophecy study on October 21.
Thank you for your support, church family.
