Celebrating the New Life We Have in Christ!
By the time you read this article the church will have celebrated the new life we have in Jesus Christ through his life,
death, and resurrection! The pivotal event in all of history is the resurrection of our Lord from the grave. The darkness
and gloom of Good Friday stands in stark contrast to the renewed hope and brightness of resurrection morning only
three days separate the most challenging (Jesus death on the cross) and the most rewarding days of history.
Life is abounding all throughout the creation. The grass is turning green bulbs are coming out of the ground in glory
Bradford pear and dogwood trees are enhancing the landscape. In the midst of the new life we are seeing warming
temperatures and longer days. The birds are returning and singing their songs of joy! All that we see and reflect on in the physical
world is an expression of what God is doing in the spiritual world. Life is good all the time. Ecclesiastes tells us, There is a time
for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens (verse 1). Gods timing is perfect and as we keep him in the center
and focus of our lives the beauty of what
he brings will be evident to us.

It is evident God is at work to get us into a permanent facility. The discussions with Hopedale Christian Church are
continuing. There are still many aspects of possibly merging two congregations that leaders in both churches will need
to work on. At this point I strongly encourage you to seek Gods heart. Pray over Revelation 3:7, .What God opens no
one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I am confident as we pray God will reveal to both us and the people
of Hopedale his will and purpose. I am committed with sharing with our Church Leadership Team and the congregation
on developments.
I am grateful for the freedom you are giving me as a congregation to stay close to God. I am committed to studying so I
can effectively preach and teach Gods Word. I also am committed to supporting you spiritually in the challenges you
face. The Church Leadership Team and I are working together to lead in a manner that brings honor and glory to our
God. We cherish your prayerful support.
I pray Gods blessings on you, our families, and the kingdom work we are engaging in for our Lord. Pastor Reid
