“This is love for God’ to obey His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:3-5
Dear reader,
Let us read the following Creed, then underline the aspects of it in which we can say, “Yes, I truly believe that.”
THE APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy catholic (universal) church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
Let us all, with total candor seek greater understanding through God’s Holy Scripture and in the counsel of other Christians
Pastor Tom

Goodness, one month of 2025 gone already and what a month it was. BRRR! Cold temps and snow, but makes one appreciate a warmer day and Sunshine. We look forward to Spring, but in the meantime….
Seasons change, things change, but there is one constant – the love and presence of God! He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, and FOREVER!
Our thoughts turn to love in February. We see Red Hearts, Valentines, Candy, and Flowers all around us God gave us the best love present ever – His Son!
Take time to share that love with someone. Sometimes the least loveliest among us needs love the most.
Did you know? The word LOVE is mentioned in the Bible 310-801 times, depending on the translation? Also there are over 25 Traditional Hymns that speak of LOVE, We all remember the song “What the World Needs Now is Love” and that is more true today than ever. We often over use the word when we say things like, I love that color, or a certain food, or just about anything. But, God wants us to love one another. It can be a verb or a noun. What an amazing word of just 4 little letters. Also you may remember the song “Love Makes the World Go Round”. It is used over and over in secular music. Let’s face it – LOVE is one of the most important and powerful words in our language and our world!
MOM’s Tidbit: Love is not a suggestion, it is a command.
Until Then ~ Edwinna
