"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."

Book Your Galactic Flight Now
PASTOR'S BLOG
Good news for everyone wanting to escape this pandemic world—it isn’t too late to book your flight on Virgin Galatic’s SpaceShipTwo. You'll be rocketed 110 kilometers (68 miles) into glorious space, escaping the woes of this suffering world at 4200 kph (2600 mph) until you reach zero gravity! And oh my, will you travel in supersonic comfort. This summer I took a video tour of the plush cabin that will surround first-time space travelers or astronauts as the company is calling them . . .

Family, Fun, and Faith!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FAMILY LIFE COMMITTEE
Is it just me, or do you also have a sense of pressure building? Personally and globally. Personally, people are dealing with pressures such as gearing up for school and all that goes with it (stricter schedules, stricter rules, new processes, extracurriculars); going back to work after furlough and having to get back in the game quickly; looking for work after losing a job due to COVID; paying bills and feeding mouths with decreased income; the list goes on. Globally it feels like the pressures of polarized politics, increased natural disasters, strained international relations, uncontrolled pandemic spread, etc. are squeezing this poor earth so much that it’s about ready to explode. And perhaps we are too.
Work Bee Thank-you
Sincere thanks to everyone who gave their time and tools to support the Pioneer Work Bee last Sunday, August 16. You did a great job, and the church grounds look beautiful! A very special “thank you"to Karen Nelson who coordinated the Work Bee. God bless everyone.
