I am praying for everyone in our church family. This is a fascinating time in history. I’m not ignoring the challenges but whatever happens we are called for such a time as this. We will continue to reach out to both sides with Christ’s love regardless. We will still need to take care of our families. Our church still has a mission to share the Good News and to help the poor. We need a great caring network during this pandemic. We have people to love, songs to sing, friendships to stand by, so do not be afraid -- the Lord your God is with you!

This week’s sermon is coming from Dr. Rey Diaz on “How Not to Waste These Crazy Times”. I will be having surgery on Tuesday, November 10th, -- no matter who is ahead in the election. What a joy to have a young talented preacher to bring us this special series.

I remember when Rey first started as our Youth Pastor. He was invited steelhead fishing by J.J. Kinssies, one of the boys in our youth group. When Rey returned, I asked him how it went. He told me it wasn’t as bad as he thought since he wasn’t a fisherman. I have been fishing for steelhead since I was five and I have never caught one. He pulled out his cooler to show me three huge steelhead trout. This was his limit caught in a half day! It’s all a matter of perspective. And so is riding through tough times. Rey is going to bring us strong insights from God’s Word this Sunday. Please join us on live stream at 10:30 this Sunday.

Your friend for the rest of my life,

Pastor Tim White
