My amazing church family,,,
I thank God for you everyday. I see your faces and hear your names, and it fills my heart with such joy and a healthy pride for this great privilege to serve you.
The River is not just a place of worship; it’s a family. Genuinely. You consistently demonstrate love, faith, and a heart for God’s work. Your immeasurable support, prayers, and encouragement lift me and remind me constantly of the power of God’s grace working through His people. Whether it’s through your acts of kindness, your passion for ministry, or the way you welcome others with open arms, you truly embody the spirit of Christ.
As most of you know, our word for the year has been #BREAKTHROUGH. I wish I had time to tell you all the remarkable stories of breakthrough we have witnessed. Salvations, sanctification, saved marriages, healing, provision, birth, and much more. As we continue to grow numerically, I can also testify to deeper growth spiritually. Your worship is louder, your prayers are more confident, your joy is contagious, and your faith is stronger! Keep going church!
Thank you for your dedication to building God’s Kingdom and for walking this journey of faith together. I am honored to lead, serve, and grow with you. May God continue to bless The River and use us as a light to our community and beyond.
Grace and Peace to you and yours. Happiest Thanksgiving!
