Dear Friends,
It has been lonely here on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings without you! It never feels “right” in church without the choir, orchestra and handbells present. Can’t wait for August 3rd to get here so that we can once again serve and lead our congregation through music. Our friendship is indeed special and sacred to me. Jesus as a friend and not just Savior, is also something sacred to be enjoyed on a daily basis. No one knows you better than Jesus, who is the author of unconditional love. So, relax in His presence and be yourself! Peace and Love, Scott

Relax In My Peaceful Presence. Do not bring performance pressures into our sacred space of communion. When you are with someone you trust completely, you feel free to be yourself. This is one of the joys of true friendship. Though I am Lord of lords and King of kings, I also desire to be your intimate Friend. When you are tense or pretentious in our relationship, I feel hurt. I know the worst about you, but I also see the best in you. I long for you to trust Me enough to be fully yourself with Me. When you are real with Me, I am able to bring out the best in you: the very gifts that I have planted in your soul. Relax, and enjoy our friendship.
Daily Devotional from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Revelation 17:14 14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
John 15:13-15 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
