Pastor's Perspective:  Our staff have many thoughts to share with you this week, so please take time to read their articles.

One quick thought:  Each week is filled with important things to do for the Lord.  Many are critically important.  Let’s do them with the excellence He deserves.  At the same time, don’t let the doing replace the being.  Check out Mark 6:30-31.  Let’s do and be to the praise of His glory.  I look forward greatly to seeing you Sunday.
