Dear Church Family,
Loving God and loving others is Jesus’ Great Commandment to his followers. The Apostle Paul also wrote of the importance of loving followers and non-followers of Jesus: in other words, everyone! Notice in his prayer for the Thessalonians the phrase “for all”:
"…and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all..." 1 Thessalonians 3:12
Similarly, he said in Galatians “let us do good to everyone”:
"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:10
We have an opportunity on Thursday, October 8th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to love our neighbor by giving blood. We have offered the ministry center lobby to the Red Cross for this blood drive! Because of the pandemic, the Red Cross has experienced a shortage of suitable locations to donate blood for those in need. More details are coming; you can sign up at redcross.org -> find a blood drive -> 94502. I hope we will have a strong turnout as a testimony of God’s love for the world.
Blessings,
Pastor Steve
