From Pastor’s Heart
INVITE – PLANT – GROW
Dear Church Family:
One of my favorite Hymn Chorus is “Because He lives I can face tomorrow”, I truly believe with all of the violence in the world, division in our country, families and churches we wonder about tomorrow. We all try to put up a front that all is well, but the truth is we are afraid, discouraged and angry. This month we celebrate a Risen Savior on Easter but I would go further that as Christians we should live everyday as a day of remembering that Christ arose from the grave and is alive. So because He lives we can face tomorrow. Northwest UMC I encourage you to live a victorious life, not of fear but hope. With Christ in you, beside you and watching over you. No pit is so deep that God is not deeper still. I refuse to live a life of defeat where Satan wins because Jesus lives and Jesus will not forsake or leave us.
Christ is Risen Christ is Risen Indeed Reverend Ted A. Hartley
