Dear Stone United Methodist Family, Greetings to you on behalf of the One who is, and the One who was, and the One who is to come! Friends, as we welcome the month of August, I pray that each of you is experiencing Gods love and faithfulness in your daily life. Friends, summer is passing quickly, and many of us are preparing for new routines, new opportunities, and perhaps even new challenges. Through it all, we can be confident that God is with us, leading us every step of the way. However, my prayer for each of us this month is that we continue to have a holistic relationship with God each day. Take time to pray, read his Word, and look for simple ways to share his love with those around you. Dear siblings in Christ, a kind word, a helping hand, or a listening ear can make a lasting difference in someones life. Thank you for being such a caring and faithful church family. That is, it is a joy to worship, serve, and grow in faith together. May God continue to bless Stone United Methodist Church as we seek to love God, love our neighbors, and share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you and keep you throughout this month. Happy Month Of August! Blessings, Pastor Domingos Francisco Fernando |
