A Message from Pastor Summer -- November 2016


I have written a song to capture our mission statement, Connecting People with God's Grace.


Connecting People

1.  God made us one from the start
But then through sin we broke apart
We went our separate ways
The price we soon would pay
So in love, God sent his son
To bring us home, when we had run
The walls, he would tear down
The lost, they would be found

Refrain
Connecting people, with his father’s grace
Connecting people, all boundaries to erase
Connecting people, broken in this world
Connecting people, with God’s grace

2. He blessed the children brought to him
Forgave the woman caught in sin
The blind and deaf he healed
With outcasts, shared his meal
But when in fear, we turned away
He gave his life for us to save
He bore our sins and lies
And on the cross he died


3.  Down through the years that grace’s been poured
Through the mercies of our Lord
The church has been the clay
God’s hands have shaped the way
As Jesus lived, embracing all
Lifting others when they fall
The stranger to let in
The broken heart to mend.

4.  I’ve known that grace in my life
In times of trouble and of strife
God’s been there in my need
Heard my every plea
So with others I will share
This gift of love beyond compare.
The will be my call
Serving one and all



Peace,
Pastor Summer
