My wife and I decided to do some upgrades in our master bathroom. We tore the old bathroom apart with some help of some friends. The fun began. We knew what we wanted but we failed to do one important thing-find out how much it would cost and how long will it take. Now that we no longer have a bathroom we are getting the sad news. Cost is exceeding our estimates and, the guy helping us said “I will do all I can to finish by Thanksgiving but I will need to work Saturdays as well as the rest of the week.”

       Have you ever noticed that there are some people who have to find things out the hard way? O well, it is what it is, we push on. I’m thankful we have quality individuals helping us. They are excellent at their profession.
Jesus once said that before we become one of His followers, we need to count the cost. Too many find it easy to become a Christian, but few are willing to become genuine followers of Jesus. You see this when a person becomes a Christian and then when difficulties come they give up and return to their old ways. Jesus never promised an easy road. For Him, if you wish for a crown, you need to carry a cross.

Please come and worship with us Sunday, and as we always want you to remember: EVERYONE is welcome here. The weak, the strong, the good, the bad. Jesus made His sacrifice for all of us, and we have a seat for everyone.

On behalf of the membership,

Norm Russell.
