For me it has been a humbling experience. I am very grateful for your efforts, and the efforts of others, to step out in faith. Our humble beginnings have been both been times of blessing along with a few challenges. I commend you for hanging in there! I am confident God will re- ward you for the service rendered in His name. 2015 may be a significant year for the church. The signs of the times that is spoken of in Matthew 24 are all around us. Pastor John Hagee and other Bible teachers are drawing attention to the Four Blood Moons which fulfill the prophecy in Joel 2:24. The last of the current tetrad occurs in September, 2015. Jonathan Cahn in his book titled The Harbinger suggests God has already allowed two warnings to America. The first was the terror attacks in 2001. The second was seven years later in 2008 when the economy crashed. Seven years separated the first two warnings. Now the question is whether or not 2015, which is seven years from 2008, will be a time when another warning will be allowed calling America to repent and draw back close to God. I believe these and other pieces of the End Times events may make 2015 a year of great significance. I am hopeful Faith Christian Church can position itself in the coming year to fulfill Gods call on us as a congregation. I ask that you read, pray, and meditate over the suggestions being published in our Sunday bulletins. As you reflect keep an open mind, a pure heart, and an expectation for God to speak and move you through the power of the Holy Spirit. I Thank you for your service to our Lord. It is a privilege to labor alongside of you in the name of Jesus Christ. May Gods continued blessings rest on you, your family, and the church. Sincerely, Pastor Reid Wishing you a Happy Happy Day in September!
