A New Thing
It was 72 degrees this weekend in Kansas City, Missouri. We made a quick trip to check out hotel sites for our Minnesota guests we are hosting for our son’s (David) wedding in June. The seven hour trip we took with our other son Paul, and his wife Katie, gave us a quantity of time to talk and think.
We discussed how the Lord is working and the “new things” that are happening in our church body. I was reminded of the passage of scripture in Isaiah, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
This past week at PCEFC we opened up the doors to our newly formed ministry, “The Clothing Shelf”, started by the Evangelism & Missions Committee of our church. We have had a
tremendous response to this ministry. Numerous families and individuals from the community have stopped by to either bring a donation or to gather items they or family members need to keep warm this winter. We have had countless comments of gratitude and appreciation for this service. Thank you everyone! Keep passing the word along!
In the near future PCEFC will take a look at the probability of lovingly reaching out to those in need of shelter and a place to sleep at night. Pine City, our mission field, is to all that need “a cup of cold water”.
Because we know it is important to build into lives and encourage one another to grow strong in our faith, we are encouraging each other to read and memorize scripture. God’s Word is powerful. It changes lives.
This is what the Lord says— “ I am doing a new thing…. so the people may proclaim my praise.”
