[Message from Pastor Dan] Holy Week Meetings

Hello everyone!

I hope this finds you well on this Monday morning. I am still praising God for a spirit-filled morning of worship yesterday. God is doing big things in Dresden!

The reason I write today is in regards to this week’s scheduled meetings for our Finance Team, Administrative Board, Mission: Dresden, and the Trustee Committee. A number of folks will be absent from these meetings this week, and considering the fact that it is also Holy Week and we have a LOT of things ahead, I have decided to postpone these meetings until next month. In the meantime, if there are any pressing issues that need to be discussed, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or the chair of one of these teams.

I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be your pastor and can’t wait to see what God has in store for us this week. Please pray for BIG THINGS to happen this Holy Week right here in Dresden!

Grace and peace,
Dan
