From The Desk of  the Priest-In-Charge
Let Your Light Shine!

Luke 8:16-17 The New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 "Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lamp stand, so that those who come in may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light."

When the light of the truth about Jesus illuminates us, it is our duty to shine that light to help others. My friends, our witness for christ should be public...not hidden away. We should not, we must not, keep the benefits that we have been given through God's boundless grace for ourselves alone but pass them to others.

So, I urge you to seek out opportunities within and outside our church to "LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE"

Blessings and Peace!
Rev. Tracy
