One of our favorite things is opening the doors of our beautiful church for moments beyond Sunday morning and our Tuesday/Thursday JAM worship.

Whether it’s welcoming ministries from beyond our walls, offering a sacred space to grieve the loss of a loved one or celebrate a life well lived, or providing a meal and a place of rest for a grieving family—whether they are from our own community or simply passing through and need somewhere to sit, breathe, visit, and feel loved—we consider it a blessing to BE a blessing.

Because we believe something with all our hearts: This is not “our” church. This is GOD’S church. And God’s church belongs to God’s people. ALL of God’s people. Not just those who fill our pews on Sunday mornings, but those who may never sit in them. These doors are not just for those who worship here. They are for those who need a place to feel welcomed, loved, encouraged, and reminded that they matter.

The church was never meant to be just a place where we gather. It was meant to be a place where God’s love goes to work. And I am so incredibly grateful for those within our congregation who make certain the church is prepared and ready every time we open the doors to fulfill that mission of love.

Among the many services, ministries, and events we are blessed to open our doors to each year, a couple of our favorites are the Senior Homecoming Lunch and the Senior End-of-Year Breakfast! There is something so special about welcoming these young people through our doors as they celebrate milestones, make memories, and prepare for all that lies ahead.

We certainly cannot let these moments pass without recognizing the incredible parents who pour so much love into making them happen! From decorating and setting up to preparing and serving the students their meals, there are countless hands and loving hearts at work. We may have the joy of opening our doors, but it is these families who fill the space with laughter, love, and memories in the making. What a gift it is to watch them come together to celebrate their children!

To the Mart ISD Senior Class of 2027—we are SO proud of you! We hope this year is filled with laughter, friendships, unforgettable moments, and memories you will carry with you for a lifetime. And as each day brings you a little closer to the next chapter of your lives, we cannot wait to see the beautiful ways God will work in and through each one of you. May you always know that you are loved, you are prayed for, and you have a community cheering you on!

What a blessing it is to open our doors. And what an even greater blessing it is to open our hearts!

It is with heavy hearts that we share that Steven Tidrick, beloved son-in-law of RoseAnn Littlepage, cherished husband of Laurie Littlepage, and loving and devoted father of Paxton, has stepped into the presence of Jesus following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

While we are grateful that his suffering has ended and he is now resting in the arms of his Savior, we also know that hearts are hurting and the weight of grief is great. Scripture reminds us to “mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15), and that is what we are called to do as the Church.

Please join me in lifting Laurie, Paxton, RoseAnn, and all who loved Steven in prayer. May we surround them with love, hold them close in our hearts, and remind them that they do not walk through this valley alone.

Services for Steven will be private for the family. However, there will be a visitation gathering with the family at the church Saturday, October 10th, from 4:00–6:00pm in the Fellowship Hall.

Please stop by, share a cup of coffee, enjoy some finger foods, visit with the family, offer a hug, and simply remind them how deeply they are loved.

May we be the hands and feet of Jesus to this precious family in the days ahead.

Blessings,
Pastor Amy
