Wednesdays In the Word:

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

It's easy to trust God when everything makes sense, but the challenge comes when it doesn't.

Proverbs 3 reminds us that faith isn't about having all the answers, it's about trusting the One who does.

As you're reading through Proverbs this month, take some time to slow down and reflect on chapter 3. These verses are many people's life verses (This pastor included!) and have encouraged believers for generations because they remind us that God is faithful to guide those who follow Him.

Whatever you're facing today, trust Him with it. He sees the whole path, even when we can only see the next step.

📚 Don't forget our Proverbs Challenge: Read the chapter of Proverbs that matches today's date and ask God to give you wisdom for the day ahead.

Tomorrow is the big day! We will be having our turnaround service schedule with a bring your own lunch fellowship in between the services.

If you don’t feel like cooking you can help support the teens as they raise money for camp and enjoy a delicious spaghetti lunch for $5/pp or $20/family.

The teens will also be auctioning off some delicious desserts for you to enjoy as well 😁 (get a sneak peak of just a couple delicious desserts in the comments). We can’t wait to see you at church tomorrow!

Wednesdays in the Word:

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above...” James 1:17

We’re thankful for the wonderful time the ladies of Pleasant Ridge had together at our “A Few of My Favorite Things” ladies' brunch this past weekend. It was a beautiful reminder that God is the giver of every good gift in our lives.

Mrs. Carol Bishop gave a beautiful reminder on how we often focus on the gifts themselves, but James reminds us to look beyond the blessing and remember the One who gave it. Every kindness, every friendship, every provision, and every moment of joy ultimately points back to the goodness of God.

We’re grateful for the ladies who decorated tables and helped make this special day possible and thankful for the opportunity to grow together.

Please post any other pictures you have from Saturday in the comments below!
