Why June by the numbers? Because these numbers tell us that God’s people (now) called St. Matthew are answering the call to serve like never before. We have a long way to go but we also need to celebrate the presence of God’s favor upon us and the Jesus Followers who are answering the call. Way to go Church!! We are maturing. We are growing in faith, hope and love. We are a blessed people! To top it all off, the above numbers barely scratch the surface of all we are doing and about to do that will glorify God as we share the love and grace and Jesus with as many people as we can.
I am sincerely humbled and honored to serve as one of your pastors and the amazing part is, the best is yet to come!
I am praying for you. Please pray for me.
Peace,
Rick
