Dear Church Family,
We would like to share what a blessing it has been to be a part of this church family for the past 7 years. There are so many members we have had the privilege of getting to know and it has warmed our hearts. We now feel the Lord is calling us to make a move to Michigan. And after much prayer it seems clear that is where He wants us to serve. We will be in the Berrien Springs area so if you’re ever up north please look us up.
The Lord is coming soon. And we are living in unsettling times, as we knew would come. A quote I came across recently has been a real inspiration: “Prayer is the answer to every problem in life…So often we do not pray in certain situations, because from our standpoint the outlook is hopeless. But, nothing is impossible with God. Nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied; no habit so deep rooted that it cannot be overcome; no one is so weak that he cannot be strong; no one is so ill that he cannot be healed. No mind is so dull that it cannot be made brilliant…If anything is causing worry or anxiety, let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God for healing, love and power.” EGW R&H Oct 7, 1865
It is our prayer that each of us stays true to the faith, we trust in the Lord, and we are prepared for His very soon return.
God bless each one of you,
Andre & Jennifer Castelbuono
Joshua & Jacqueline
