President’s Post/Church Council News

Greetings all,

I looked up at last year’s May newsletter and found that we were saying goodbye to Helen, Walt's Mom, as she was heading home. We so miss her. But hold on. This last week, one year later, we were blessed to have Kitty’s father come to Fallon to live. Welcome to our church family Paul.

Speaking of looking up information. Linda brought to my attention and helped me find some history. April 20, 1985, St. John’s church had a banquet for a fund raiser. This was to build funds for a growing church that needed more room. Our present-day location was purchased and by late autumn a group of members started to clear the land. 

Christians need a place to worship. Shortly after Christ’s resurrection Christians first started meeting in people’s homes for worship and when they could meet in public, the Christian churches were built for the sole purpose of worshiping our God. No more dual-purpose buildings. Our church was built for the same reason.  There will be more history in my newsletters to come. 

As the days get closer to us paying off the mortgage, and I mean DAYS, I need about three to four individuals to be on a committee to celebrate us being mortgage free. Reach out to me and let me know that you’re willing to help to observe this tremendous occasion! 

Do you know of anyone that is looking for a church? We have one for them. Invite them to a service and see what questions they may have that we can answer for them. If you do not invite them, you will never know if they want the Lord in their lives. 

God is always in control! When God gets tough with us because he doesn’t want to lose us and you push him away out of sheer frustration, you have a standing invitation to embrace him again: “Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds” (Hosea 6:1). 

IN PRAYER: Bind us together in your love Heavenly Father, and give us voices raised to You, our almighty Deliverer. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
