Dear Church Family, As we head back into Ruth this Sunday, we're turning a corner on the story- what was a tragedy is becoming a love story. What was heartbreaking is becoming redemptive. Over the next few weeks, start thinking about the ways, both big and small, that God has been redeeming you. What stories can you share? What moments do you treasure as you see the hand of God on your life? More to come, talk soon! David

As I have been reflecting on our time in Ruth, I’ve noticed a pattern I haven’t had a deep appreciation for until now: God multiplies generous acts. Not just in the “sowing and reaping" principles often at play on the pages of Scripture. But the “your generous act is actually going snowball with the faithful and generous acts of others.” Boaz showed compassion and generosity to his employees. Ruth showed compassion and generosity toward Naomi. The employees showed compassion and generosity to Ruth. Boaz shows generosity to Naomi through Ruth. God weaves all these small and often easily overlooked steps into a beautifully redemptive story that leads (spoiler warning) to the line of David and Jesus. I’ve been encouraged to consider to where I doubt the small but faithful step being stewarded by God to weave wholistic redemption. And consider where I can trust God’s invitation to act faithfully with compassion and generosity. Won’t you join me? Talk soon! David

Thank you so much to everyone who helped sponsor a backpack for the GR4S Campaign! As of today, we have ALL 110 BACKPACKS FUNDED! Praise the Lord! I’m truly looking forward to GR4S Sunday! What a blessing it is to help 110 students begin the school year with backpacks and supplies. Church family, let’s come ready to warmly welcome, love, and care for our community. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5: 13 “You are the salt of the earth…” 14 “You are the light of the world…” 15 “…put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” 16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Let’s shine brightly and be the salt of the earth this Sunday. Please make a special effort to welcome and connect with anyone you don’t know. Come early, grab a cup of coffee, meet someone new, and invite them to join you. Make room where you sit, introduce yourself, and warmly invite our guests to come back next week. CWC, we’ve got this, RIGHT!!! I can’t wait to see you all on Sunday! -Love you all, John

This morning, Beth said something that struck me: “I had a really good conversation; I steered it toward the spiritual.” It got me thinking… Think about your neighbors, school friends, coworkers, cashiers, or the person you keep running into. We often talk about the weather, sports (go Argentina!), gas prices, and—if you dare—politics. Those conversations matter because they help build relationships. Who is someone in your life who has moved from acquaintance to friend—someone whose name you know, and who knows yours? Take a moment to pray for that person right now. Then consider that it may be no accident you continue to see them—perhaps it is God-ordained. The next time you converse, gently steer the conversation toward spiritual matters. It can be done by mentioning your church, or asking how you can pray for them, or sharing something your pastor or group leader once said. Then listen for their response and for how God may be leading you next. Let me know how it goes! “Be ready in season and out of season.” 2 Timothy 4:2 Love you all, -Pastor John

Years ago the elders asked a painful but important question: “Would this community miss us if we ceased to exist?” At the time, I believe the honest answer was, “No.” But over the years, by God’s grace, that began to change. Slowly, that “No” became a “Yes.” Today, I believe many people in our community—including an elementary school—would be deeply affected if we were no longer here. I was reminded of this when Donald was away for two weeks in early spring. By the eighth day, people were asking where he was. Cars stopped, windows rolled down, walkers paused, and children, teachers, and parents all asked the same question: “Where’s Donald?” I lost count of how many people noticed his absence. That question—“Would this community miss us if we ceased to exist?”—is not only a meaningful question for the church; it is also a meaningful question for each of us. Would your community—your neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and friends—miss the kindness, presence, and love of Christ in you if you were no longer there? Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world… In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13–16 -Pastor John
