“Finger Pointing”
PASTOR'S BLOG
With all the finger-pointing going on, I’d like to share a piece one of our viewers sent me a few days ago. In my humble opinion, it is a point of view that deserves a hearing. So, with a few tweaks for spacing purposes, here is a fresh perspective from D. Bryan White: The COVID virus has produced its share of finger-pointing over the last few months. Some good, God-fearing "saints" see God's judgment in all that has transpired, particularly in the last few days. So, In light of these heated arguments from the Right and Left, perhaps it would be well to refer back to the quintessential commentary on the wisdom or foolishness of construing everything as God's will, found in the book of Job.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FAMILY LIFE COMMITTEE
As Christians, we are called to serve others as Christ did during his time on earth. This is an important trait during the pandemic. We all need to help one another, but we also need to realize our human limits. What the eight laws of health that were promoted by Ellen White and the SDA church are about is actually self-care. I know sometimes we get so busy it is hard for us to eat healthy, exercise, and get enough sleep. We feel guilty telling people no so we can spend the time to cook healthy meals or get some fresh air. What we need to realize is by taking care of ourselves we can then take better care of others. What this pandemic has taught us is the importance of maintaining our health to prevent and better recover from COVID-19. With the probability of an increase in COVID-19 cases and the possibility of another shutdown looming this fall, this is the time to reflect on your self-care.
Pastor Appreciation Month
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. You will wholeheartedly agree that our Pioneer pastors have worked very diligently and creatively throughout this year. As a congregation, we have been blessed and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts. Although we do not have thank you cards available this year, if you wish to write a personal note to one or more of our pastors you can so online.
