A Word from Our Pastor

I am blessed to have such a beautiful wife and seven children. My family and I have greatly enjoyed the Dunnellon area and are excited to be a part of such dynamic church growth.
I have been ordained since 1989 and this is my fourth appointment ministering to a local congregation. I have served the church on the District level in two areas and the Annual Conference on the Board of Church and Society.
I can't imagine pastoring anywhere else at this time of my life. I have no doubt that God has blessed me greatly by serving this wonderful congregation."

Pastor's Weekly Devotion

Week of April 19, 2021

Our devotion this week comes from Wednesday, April 21. The Bible verse to memorize is first Thessalonians 5:18.  
The apostle Paul says, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” You know as well as I, how hard it is to give thanks in all situations. Our United Methodist men leader in our local church always expresses to us to have an attitude of gratitude. That is what we need and should practice but it is not always easy. I love the devotion this week because it is very realistic. The author says at the end of the devotion, “by praying continually I found relief from my fears…”. 
We don’t have the concept in this devotion that the actual prayers that were prayed for were answered but by praying continually the fears subsided. I believe God always answers our prayers so we miss out when we do not pray. When we pray in his will we may think we know exactly the way things should turn out but He knows best. There’s no doubt that he answers prayers every time they are offered so don’t miss that opportunity. Just believe that he is good and that he knows what to do even if it’s not exactly what you’re asking. I challenge you this week to pray, pray, pray, pray, like the world needs you to. Our recent preacher for a men’s retreat emphasized that. 
Blessings
