Dear Church Family,
The Bible is alive and powerful!
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Did you read your Bible every day this week? Is that spring of living water flowing through your soul?
John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Sabbath evening it was my privilege to participate in the Pathfinder Induction service. Angel and Tina Segarra always do such a good job with this service!

This year was extra special both because of some balloon fun (We were glad that Bobby Gage had long arms and an even longer stick to get the balloons down from the ceiling!) and it was also special because my daughter Katya Vyhmeister was one of the inductee.
Sunday we had a precious baby shower for Joseph and Deanna Fabiani, not knowing that baby Valeria would be born just two days later! So beautiful

Speaking of babies, I can't help but share the joy I had visiting this family with twins!

We love you all Edwin and Aimee Fisher! It is our privilege as a church to support growing families!
The finance committee of this church is top notch! Led by Bruce Jacobs, this group is always so positive and visionary.

Our church treasurer, Cherith Gonzalez shared that local church giving us up 6% compared to last year. Praise the Lord!
All in all, it has been a great week and I am looking forward to celebrating the Lord's Supper together this Sabbath in conjunction with a message entitled,
"The Heretic Who Held the Cup."
May God bless you with a happy Sabbath,
Pastor Jason
