From The Bishop’s Heart

Hello Everyone,                                                                                                                           

     Can you believe it’s March? We’ve had some very nice weather and it’s about to get much nicer. Daylight Savings, St. Patrick’s Day, and Spring will begin all this month. Of course, we will also celebrate Easter and the resurrection of our Lord. In another week, we will enter the Season of the Cross here at F.E.C. On Easter, we will be holding a Close the Door Altar Service, which we have not done for a while. Many are trying to move on with a new life and that cannot happen until the old one ceases to exist. The Apostle Paul said old things are passed away, all things are new.

     Our annual change war has begun, and it will be a fight to the finish, lol. This year the men must win, we must. The new choir has begun and seems to be doing well. Drama team did a great job on the 25th. I really enjoyed that. The ladies had a fantastic night on the 23rd. I have heard nothing but positive things. We have started a corporate church prayer action plan. We are going to put much more energy into prayer and fasting.

     This past month my heart was touched in a powerful way as everyone embraced and gave to people who were in great need. Not only through our ministries, but when we were called upon at a moments’ notice. That’s what a real church does. It touches lives in a personal way. My prayer is that we will never be boxed in by religion: just having church with songs, a lesson, a sermon, and a prayer. God’s plan for the church is to touch every area of life among people, in every walk of life. I believe we are that church. We must stay that church and win a city for the Lord. Now let’s keep doing more in March.

 

 

                                    In His service and yours,

                                    With all my Heart,

                                    Love,

                                    Bishop Conard
