Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth;
Isaiah 43:18–19 (NKJV)
Greetings, New Piney Grove,
Are you ready to experience what God is getting ready to do? The LORD has been preparing us for a “new thing” for over a year. And now the time is here.
Tomorrow morning during our 10 AM worship service, Pastor Elect Scruggs will minister to us. It will be the first of several messages designed to bring the transition of leadership to completion. My last official message to the church as the lead servant will be the second Sunday, February 12th, 2023. But I am on schedule at other times during the year.
As we have stated before, Ann and I will continue to serve as faithful members of our church. And we want to encourage our wonderful church family to come and support Pastor Scruggs and his family. The task and vision of a pastor are intense, but your presence can be a tremendous source of strength.
It is also important to invite those who may not have a local church home to attend. Also, encourage members who have not returned because of the pandemic. Masks are recommended but optional. We don’t want this to be a hindrance to your worship experience.
We are looking forward with great excitement and anticipation to the moving of God at NPG. Our church is unique in many ways, and we thank God for your love and support over the years. Our prayer is that we continue to grow in grace together.
Sowing His Seeds While it is Day,
– Pastor Dave Wilcoxson
FAITH PLEDGE: Remember, a “Faith Pledge” is not a promise of funds; it is believing that God will provide extra above and beyond our income. We are praying for the increase of every member. Continue to look for God's expected blessings. Our goal is to be debt-free by December 2023.
CHURCH FELLOWSHIP: Church fellowship will be from 9:45 to 10:00 AM Sunday. Let's gather to meet and greet one another.
