A letter from Pastor A

What a day, Sunday!
Our Attendance was down a little, not sure what that was about but we still saw God do some amazing things.

Some great people joined our church body.
A great lady took a huge step into Baptism
and one thing that I want to address this morning.

Kathy Butchers great decision to join newLife.

That was a big step for her and a bigger statement for us.
I am not saying that everyone needs to do this, but it think it made Sunday bigger than we think.

Kathy was not saying that Bayview Baptist was wrong, but Different.
Kathy was not saying that Bayview Baptist was worse, but Different.

Kathy was saying that SHE is experiencing new life as never before.
Kathy was saying that SHE is enjoying her new life as never before.
Kathy was saying that SHE is embracing her new life as never before.

and I think that Kathy was saying for all of us who were members of Bayview that we are different.
Not wrong, not worse, but different, and that we all are living new lives in Christ.

Sunday was nothing more than Kathy expressing her love for the difference.

I too love the difference and am thankful that God moved on Kathy's heart to remind us all of what God has blessed our church with.
