Pastor’s Weekly Newsletter | 09-18-2020

Dear Church Family and Friends,

I hope you are all well and safe in this time of seven months of a pandemic in our country.

Sunday is Peacemaking Sunday and we encourage you to make a donation to the fund. You can send a check to the church or make a donation online at our website. Please mark “Peacemaking” on your check or online offering.

Last Saturday we had 12 inches of rain from Sally and the rain flooded many of the streets. Jaye J. had a colleague bring her home and he made a turn into a gas station and the water was so high it was past the doors and then the car stalled. Thank you to the Key West Police for coming to their rescue and bringing Jaye J. home safe and sound.

Please keep all those who have been dramatically affected by Hurricane Sally in your prayers as well as all the people in California, Oregon and Washington who have lost homes and relatives due to the fires. Also, keep praying for Barry Gibson and Beth Childress in their fight against cancer. Let’s also pray for our teachers, students and all school workers as they work to educate our children. May God protect them all!

This Sunday I will be preaching on Nehemiah chapter 5. Last week, we saw attacks from outside Jerusalem from the sworn enemies of Israel and the Jewish people came together as one. This week, there are internal rumblings from the Israelites themselves and they give Nehemiah an earful. This will be the first time they have to stop work on rebuilding the walls. Nehemiah shows us how to handle legitimate complaints from people and move forward together.

The weather is finally taking a turn for the better beginning on Monday so I look forward to a beautiful fall here in Key West.

Blessings,

Pastor Daniel
