From Pastor Chuck

Dear Church Family,

As we step into the month of May, I’m reminded of how quickly the seasons change and how faithful God is through each one. Spring is in full bloom, and with it comes fresh opportunities to grow in our faith, strengthen our families, and serve others in love.

May is a special month filled with meaningful moments for us as a church and as a nation.

First, we look forward to Mother’s Day, a time to honor and celebrate the incredible women God has placed in our lives. Mothers are a reflection of God’s nurturing love, strength, and faithfulness. Proverbs 31:28 says, “Her children rise up and call her blessed.” On Sunday, May 10th we will take time during our service to recognize and appreciate all mothers and mother figures. I encourage you to invite your family and come ready to celebrate together.

Later in the month, we observe Memorial Day, a solemn and important time to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. As we gather with family and friends, let us not forget the sacrifice that has secured our freedoms. Jesus said in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” We are grateful for those who have demonstrated such love.

As a church, let’s also continue to be mindful of our mission. The early church in Acts was unstoppable because they were unified, Spirit-filled, and committed to sharing the Gospel. That same calling is ours today 

Let’s look for opportunities this month to invite someone to church, encourage a neighbor, or simply be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.

I want to thank each of you for your faithfulness—your prayers, your giving, and your service make a difference. God is moving at Grace Baptist Church, and I’m excited about what lies ahead.

Let’s make May a month of gratitude, honor, and growth.

For HIS Glory, Pastor Chuck
