Have a great week! – Pastor Russ

As we move into the month of November, we approach the end of the year in the church calendar. The Scriptures for each Sunday have much to say about the return of the Lord Jesus. We confess each Lord’s day in the creeds that the Lord Jesus will return, and so He will, just as He promised! The return of Christ is a day that we long for and pray for. He is coming to take all His people home to be with Him in heaven forever! In the meantime, we are to remain faithful to Him, and we are to proclaim HIs saving Gospel to as many people as we can, so that they, too, may believe in Him and be prepared for His soon return.

Come, Lord Jesus!
Pastor Russ
