1 Chronicles 16:34 “O
give thanks to the Lord, for he is
good; for his steadfast love endures forever. “
Sometimes, we get so busy in the
blessings that God rains down upon us, that we forget to truly be
thankful. God is a good God and he is
good all the time. We sometimes get so sidetracked
that we forget to give thanks for what God is doing in our lives.
As I look back over this summer, I see
many things to give thanks for. Not just
for me personally, but especially for the church. This past summer has seen one of the best VBS
programs we have ever had, we have seen the growth of a new UMM group. The church has taken up the charter for
Scouting in Doniphan and has become the home for the scouts. We have a new Sunday school class for adults
and growth in our children’s program.
Our prayer group has now been going for a year and we have watched God
work his wonder. The 8:00 service has
doubled in regular attendance. God is
truly blessing Doniphan.
This fall God has opened the mission
field for us. We welcome our sister
church Neelyville UMC to the fold. We
pray that together the ministry of God will touch and change lives in both
communities. Our leadership in both
churches is stepping up to lead us into a future of ministry and outreach that
we have only dreamed of. Yes, God is
good, all the time.
As we go into this new season and travel
together, let’s not forget to give thanks to the Lord for he is good.
Amen
