May: A Month of Honor, Glory, and Celebration

Greetings my Friends:

May is upon us and with it are four special events. First, we honor our great mothers on Mother’s Day. These caring and selfless women help shape our world for the better and without them we would be lost. Second, we glorify Christ in observance of Ascension Day. This marks the end of Jesus’ ministry on earth and His placement next to the Father in Heaven. This falls on the 14th of May this year (40th day after Easter). Third, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. This is the precious gift of the Father at the request of the Son. This event is one of my favorites on the Christian calendar. I cannot say enough of how valuable this gift is in our walk with Christ. Forth, we honor our fallen heroes on Memorial Day. Thank you isn’t nearly enough for their ultimate sacrifice. What a busy month we have ahead of us!

I am humbled and excited to have been chosen by our Lord and all of you to serve at Northside. I am looking forward to sharing His Word and growing closer to God with you. We each are on our own individual journey of faith. No two people are at the exact same point of holiness. That is why it is so important that we fellowship with other believers. Our Lord has blessed us with the gift of having Pastor Ray stay with us in our journey. I am looking forward to working with him as we transition and beyond as a partnership praising God. Please let Ray know you are thankful he is staying.

Let us go into May with gratitude and enthusiasm. Christ has let us see another month and may we show that in our actions. Make our destiny to share the Word of God with others (Matthew 28:19-20) and never forget our mission “To Save the Lost At Any Cost”. If Jesus will leave the 99 to save just one (Luke 15:3-7), why can’t we follow that example? Who knows, someday that could be us. There is no reason we cannot be the hands and feet of Jesus every day and remember: we the people are His church.

In His Service,

Pastor Loren
