Update From Pastor Sandy

About 6:40 Saturday morning I was overcome with a severe stomach virus, vertigo, and sensitivity to light and sound. I have never been so sick in all my life. Monday evening I began to get some relief but my recovery is slow. It's Tuesday evening and I'm dictating this from bed.

I will not be in Mobile Saturday but I hope to preach Sunday and teach the Membership class that afternoon. As soon as I am able I will process the hundreds of voicemails, emails and text messages awaiting me. I ask for your continued prayers as I regain my strength and health.

How Sundays Changed The World

In spite of her flaws and shortcoming, there is no agent of change as powerful as the Church of Jesus Christ! Every Sunday people's lives are changed by the good news of the gospel. Every day of the week people's lives are transformed by the ministry of the Church. It still amazes me
that God invites ordinary people like us to do extraordinary work in our world.

Join us this week as we conclude our "I Love Sundays" series by celebrating some of the accomplishments of the Church, MCC, and Cornerstone. We are making a difference in the world yet there is still much to be done. This is a great time to join in and be a part of something
bigger than yourself. There is nothing on earth like the Church. Come and rejoice and be renewed and then let's get back to work.

Rev Sandy, Pastor

Sundays are for Believing and Receiving

Even with the diversity of media in the world today, Sunday is the day of the week more people come to hear the good news of the gospel. It's an old, old story that still has the power to reclaim and transform lives.

At times we forget who we are and Sundays help us reclaim our holy and sacred identity. None of us are perfect and Sundays offer us an opportunity for spiritual transformation. Life can be difficult and Sundays help us capture that full and abundant life Jesus has for us now and throughout eternity. And the icing on the cake is it's as easy as believing and receiving these free gifts from God.

Try to think of someone you know who needs the good news of Sunday. Invite them to join you for church this week. Come, be blessed and share the blessing!

Rev Sandy, Pastor
