Pioneer Operating Budget
There is something to appreciate about every season of the year. The coolness of fall is a symbol that soon the beautiful colors of falling leaves will cover the ground. The warmth of summer brings nice weather to enjoy being outside. Even the cool, stillness of winter reminds us that rest is necessary. The freshness of the rain in the spring reminds us that rain and storms can be the catalyst for new things. Different seasons bring different things into our lives.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:19, NIV). As we gather from Sabbath to Sabbath, God longs to do new things in our hearts. Our church is moving forward, and we want to be receptive to how God is doing a new thing among us. Regardless of the season, and regardless of the weather outside, the word of God should be planted in our hearts. By coming together, we can encourage one another throughout the various seasons we all face in our lives. Today’s offering is for our local church budget. Our church has ministries and plans, and our support helps us continue to serve our members and community in new ways.
