We will be back this coming Sunday! I am recovering well and am fired up to be back. We have missed you! Whether I come back with the beard or without it is a mystery only to be revealed on Sunday morning!
I will be picking up our new series “Straight Talk - from the book of James.” I have been anticipating this message for weeks and am eager to share it with you. Truthfully, it’s a message all of us need to hear, chew on and then do something about. If you want to read ahead to get prepared for this coming weekend, read through James 1:1-8. Jot down some notes and see how God speaks to you from the passage. This is a unique passage that has huge implications for each of us as we walk through difficulty, and I don't mean small stuff…it speaks to the big stuff too. I believe God has something to say to each one through this upcoming message.
I want to say thank you to Pastor Cheryl, Pastor Brent and Doug Britton for opening the series for us this last weekend. It’s so important to have people we trust teaching us each week. It feels great to have such a competent team.
Last but not least, we are thrilled about the impact we are able to have in our community through the Trunk or Treat event on Thursday the 31st. Come out and help serve the children and families of our community by supporting the event. If you are still looking for a way to get involved, we need more candy. You can drop it by the church office or bring it the night of the event. We also need you to like and share the most recent post about it on our Facebook page (facebook.com/baysidech) to help get the word out.
We love you and can hardly wait to see you again as we come to celebrate the goodness of our God, catch up with friends and reach further to pursue Christ.
Pastor Craig, Becky, Seth, Hannah and Riley the dog
