Dear friends in Christ,

This week we are studying Delilah (and Samson) yes, in that order. Samson is often known as a hero due to his super-human strength. But Samson was not a good person, and Delilah often gets blamed for his demise. But when we look at what Delilah actually said and did, we see a much different picture of strong biblical womanhood emerge. What do we do when we see political strongmen abusing their power with women caught in the middle? Delilah’s example may surprise you, and it may have much to teach us today.

You all may notice this Sunday that our gates are being repaired. The gate to the parking lot was damaged some time back, and our gate to the courtyard is cumbersome to use and relatively insecure due to the stakes that are driven into the ground. Special thanks to Rodney and Giselle and the entire church council for finding a solution, getting bids, and coming in early, staying late, and getting the gates repaired and upgraded so that they are now motor-powered, much more secure, and easier to operate. The entire project should (hopefully!) be completed next week. Watch for more information in upcoming weeks!

This Sunday after worship we will be packing sack lunches. Please join us if you are able to help us reach our goal of 1000 sack lunches this year!

Prayer Group meets every Wednesday night on Zoom at 7 PM

Did you miss worship last Sunday but want to catch up? You can find recent sermons on our YouTube channel here.

We will look forward to seeing you there!

Many blessings,

Pastor Tracy
