Moms, we pray you had a great Mother’s Day! It was great seeing so many families at Springdale worshipping together. Hopefully, the rest of the day was good spending time with family, calling someone to celebrate with them, or just sitting still remembering your mom or grandmom and how they helped in shaping your life. God blesses us with family to share the everyday activities of life and to encourage us when we need extra love and support. Thank you, God, for our mothers and for all of our family members. Prayerfully, we are helping each other grow ever so closer to You and following Your ways.
We also celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week last week. We are thankful for our Pre-school Teachers: Mary DuBois, Mary Jean Howard, Joani Fulmer, and Wendy Webster. They share love and life with each one of the 2, 3, and 4 year olds every day. Never can you say it is easy, but you can say each day if different and full of loving, trusting and active children. We also celebrated with the teachers of Springdale Elementary. Big shout out to Nell Morris, Barbara Miley, Betty Morris and Wendy Webster for making cakes that the teachers loved and enjoyed. Thank you to all of our teachers who give of their life to help and encourage all of our children to become everything that God intends for them to be.
At home or in our community, God expects that we share love and life with everyone who He puts in our path. Life for us is living for Jesus! He gave His all that we might surrender to Him and live the life He desires for us and prepares us to live. Thank you, God, for life and for helping us each day to love and live for you!
I love being your pastor,
Tommy
