From the Youth Pastor's Office
Ah, Spring has sprung! The weather has been absolutely beautiful for the past several days and it has been a blessing to get a break from all the snow and bitter cold! The flowers are blooming and the trees are budding and it is remarkable to watch nature "wake up" from hibernation! I can say that I have Spring fever and can't wait to get out and enjoy creation! I pray that you take some time to get out, take a book and sit under a tree or on the river bank and take some time drinking in God's goodness and may the Son refresh your soul!
God bless,
Pastor Mike
Many times I’ve been asked, “What are you reading?” So I would like to include a short list of books that I have read, am reading and would highly recommend.

The Trilogy; Black, Red, White, Ted Dekker

Those are just a few that I found to be “good reads.” If you have a suggestion of a good book to read or would like to contact me for prayer or to just talk, please e-mail me at pastorpotter@comcast.net and I’ll be glad to do that.
God bless,
Pastor Mike
