Monday’s Moments…
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” 1st Cor. 16:13-14
Yesterday in worship this verse helped us with our perspective on how to act and react when we are confronted with evil, or people who may want to challenge our beliefs or God’s provision for us. We are truly living in challenging times, but the past events of last week including Charlie Kirk’s death has awaken folks to their spiritual needs… make the most of every opportunity the Lord brings you way this week, and do so with loving kindness.
This weekend is the Fall Festival here in Buckner, join us at the annex or cottage front yard as we cheer for our Preschool and Youth as they march in the Parade Saturday morning… it will be a fun time for all!
