For this month’s newsletter I want to focus on one thing only. That one thing is prayer. God has and is blessing us with so many miraculous gifts that it begs us to keep leaning into His presence.

I believe that the fact that you as a church are hungry for Him, and not just what He has to give, is the main reason we are in such a season. How crazy is it for us to ask for small things when He has all of Heaven for us. Seeking Him is a sign of trust and complete submission to His will.

Please keep praying that God will do what He wants done at and through Faith Methodist. If you are not already praying daily for your church and its leaders, please begin now. We don’t want to go our way, we want to go His way.

Please note on September 14th we will gather and pray all together at 5:00 PM. I hope everyone will make a point to be present as we seek God altogether.

I cannot wait to be a part of the continued revival that God is pouring out. Keep praying church!

Pastor Scott

Wednesdays at Faith is our mid-week offering to grow in our discipleship. We offer vibrant Biblical teaching coupled with small group experiences. Our goal is that we grow in the Word of God through teaching and sharing. Everyone is welcome and each week stands on its own, so if you miss a week or two, you will not be lost. Join us for this chance to grow and deepen your faith.

While we are constantly praying as a church and individuals, we will also intentionally come together for prayer once a quarter. Please join us as we seek to hear God's voice and find His leading for our ministries.

This support group is guest and drop-in friendly. There is no cost, and is open to the public! While the Depression Support Group is being held at our church, it is somewhat secular in nature. This doesn't mean faith issues won't be discussed. It is not to be confused with group therapy, but is a mutual support group. For questions, please contact Eddie Cabaniss at platyfurmany@gmail.com
