Pastor’s weekly newsletter | 08-07-2020

Dear Church Family and Friends,

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and God will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3

This is a great verse as we seek to make plans for the day, week, month or next year. As we begin to think about our plans or our goals, we should commit them to God for God will help us make them come true.

We here in Key West and the East Coast need to stay vigilant as the forecast for named storms this year is 25. We are battling a virus that continues to sweep across the entire nation with no end in sight and now we must watch for hurricanes and tropical storms. This will indeed test our patience and faith but remember that all our thoughts and plans should be committed to our Lord.

This week, Dr. Randy Becker will be bringing us the message. He begins with a question. What do Moses and Jesus have in common? Both at crucial points in their spiritual journeys went into the wilderness for a period of discernment. What happened to them has shaped our faith forever. How do their examples inform our lives, especially in these Covid-19 times?

Scripture comes from Exodus 3:1-6 and Matthew 4:1-11.

There has been more work completed in our Fellowship Hall and our Buildings and Grounds Chair, Vicki Grant will be sending me pictures and commentary for next week.

As you know, our Key West Coop School is delayed until September 8.

May God continue to keep you safe and well and may we all learn new lessons in our own wilderness.

Blessings,

Pastor Daniel
