A Note from Senior Pastor, Rev. Heather Herrin Wong

Dear Friends,

First, I want to thank you all so much for showing your gratitude this past week for Pastor Appreciation. Your kind words are deeply appreciated!

With November arriving on Sunday, we all start looking to the holidays (if you haven't already).  Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner now. That means all of our lives are getting busier. As we load up our calendars with meals and celebrations with family and friends, may we all have gratitude in our hearts for the many blessings of life.

I know that for some people, this can be a difficult time of year. Perhaps you've lost a friend, a job, a loved one. Maybe you just aren't a celebratory person. People have expectations for others and for themselves, and those always seem to be that folks expect us to be joyful in this season. If you are joyful, enjoy it! Spread God's love everywhere you can! If it's a difficult season, though, well, I'm here to tell you that that's okay, too. God knows you and what is in your heart, and God loves you exactly the way you are, today. And if you want to talk about handling grief during this season, please get in touch with me. I always have time to help.

I'm grateful to be walking this faith journey with each and every one of you!

Peace,
Pastor Heather
