There I am

Welcome back Pastor...
I say that to say this; I went through this last season of fear, uncertainty, and turmoil in our country just like you. I saw the violence, the hurt as the value of people was lost, and I see the change it has brought to us, all of us, in small ways, in large ways, many suffered loss, the loss of family, the loss of hope, and sadly, it seems so many in the church have lost their desire to be the church.
The world has the church right where it wants it, disconnected, inconsistent, the internet became the solution for the pandemic, and it had it's place, I utilized it, and am thankful for it, but now, now the place is in your local church, in fellowship, lifting voices, lifting prayers together.
I lost a part of me, just like many of you; it will never be the same, I will never be the same...I guess that just means that God can do even more with me, and He can do more with you. 
Our children's ministry, not back, our youth presence, no, but we have God's word, we have our faith, and we can come together. Will it ever be the same...I sure hope not, come and visit if you are able, send me a message, let's grow, spiritually first, spiritually always, if we do, God will make all else known. Sorry I've been away, thank you for being patient, May the Lord bless you,
Pastor
