Weekend Update
Dear Church Family,
Amid the constant pressures of this world it is so good to know that we know the end of the story. Jesus wins. He is coming soon. There is nothing imperfect which He will not remedy. Let's trust in Him!
Ephesians 5 says,
"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God."
May we each redeem the time by keeping our eyes on Jesus!
Pastor Jason Vyhmeister
P.S. This week was full of meetings for me at Cohutta and then the church. During one break we found a way to make it fun. Here is Pastor Ryan and our very own Tyler Segarra about to start a wheelchair race!
