From the Pastor's Pen

“I see it all, and to you I call, ‘You are my Beloved!’”

This is the refrain in a children’s book I wrote several years ago (and that my son Ryan, now nearly 16, then 9 years old, illustrated). The book is entitled “What Does God See When God Looks at Me? (For Kids)” (and is available for purchase on Amazon… :) ). 

If you were in church one particular Sunday a few months ago (no idea when exactly it was!), you heard me read this book in its entirety as part of the Young Disciples’ Moment.  If you weren’t, well, here’s the “blurb” that I wrote for Amazon, as a summary:
