GATHER GROW GIVE GO
september 2026
Trouble
Our world is stocked full of trouble and tribulation. No matter what side we turn on it is all around us. The world entices us to give in to sin. The situations around us seem to beg us to give in or give up. Jesus knew this to be true even while He was with His disciples. That is why He tried to constantly remind them to trust in Him and in the Father.
In John 16:33, Jesus gives us a verse to help us remember who to trust. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV)
There are three things I want you to note in this verse. One, Jesus says in Him you have peace. True peace is found in nothing and no one else. Two, Jesus promises us that we will have troubles in our lives. We will not have a perfect life without issues to overcome. Finally, we are told to take heart because the source of these troubles, the world, has been overcome already by Jesus.
If we keep our faith and trust in Jesus, we may have troubles, but we can overcome them through Him!
In His Service,
Pastor Jared

Missions
Written by Vi Roop
We have a task to do each day
To show God’s love in every way.
He gave us a command to spread His Word
To every nation that has not heard.
Some can go abroad but won’t,
Others say they will but don’t!
There are those who give up all to go
Hearing the call, Christ’s love they show.
To the field they go, their banners high,
As they lift their prayers up to the sky.
Those who stay at home have a debt to pay,
It takes so little time to pray.
Nothing is too small when done for our Lord,
Just think when we receive our reward.
It will then all be so complete
As we place our crown at Jesus’ feet.
So let us do whatever we must
While in our Lord we place our trust.
To tell the lost of the salvation plan
By sending our missionaries to every land.
OWLS’ Gathering
It was an informal meeting at Bullocks Restaurant in Westminster. It was nice to get together in fellowship and talk about our summer! They will restart meeting at the church in September. Thank you again to Nancy for coordinating these OWLS events, you are deeply appreciated! God bless everyone!
