Hello Faith family! Hope you had a great Easter. We did! We had 13 people say their first “yes” to Jesus on Sunday. That is something worth celebrating! Praise God for what he is doing at Faith. I wanted to take the time to write and say thanks to you the congregation for how great you’ve responded to helping get the word out about Jesus. We cannot as a staff do ministry without all of you.
As I look back on the 6 months I have been here at Faith, I am amazed at the generosity of congregation. People have participated in ways I have not expected and I am blown away by how God is moving. I’ve heard things from the younger generation about how welcoming they feel by the older generation. I don’t think you realize how odd this is. Most churches develop a gap between the older and younger generation. But we are bridging that gap. We are experiencing intergenerational worship of the one true God.
I have heard the older generation excited to see some of the younger generation getting into church, raising their hands in worship to music that might be a little out of their own comfort zone. Grandparents seeing their grandchildren get into church, which is an exciting thing.
So thank you all for using your gifts and how you are helping further the kingdom.
-Jon Oney
