A message from Pastor Doug

Dear Sisters & Brothers,

As the autumn leaves fall and the air turns crisp, November brings a sacred pause in our busy lives – a season dedicated to reflection, gratitude and remembrance.

We began this month by honoring All Saints Day, thanking God for the faithful witnesses who have shaped our lives and our church family. Their legacy reminds us that we are part of a story of grace and devotion that continues through each of us today.

November also invites us to cultivate an attitude of Thanksgiving. True gratitude goes beyond a single day of celebration; it should be a daily spiritual practice. In the Wesleyan tradition, we express our thanks not just in words, but through active love, generous stewardship, and compassionate selfless service to our neighbor.

As we gather around our family tables and worship together this month, let us be sensitive to the needs of those who may be grieving, lonely, or facing hardship.

May our church family remain a warm sanctuary of hope, hospitality, and joy for all who step through our doors.

As November draws to a close, we will enter the sacred season of Advent. May we prepare our hearts not only to welcome Christ Jesus into our own lives, but also for Jesus’ love to reach others through us. May we continue growing as disciples who bring hope, comfort and peace wherever we go.

I am totally grateful to walk this journey of faith with you. May God bless you and your loved ones with peace, strength, and grateful hearts throughout this season.

Thank you for your faithful presence, your generous hearts, and your devotion to our shared ministry. May God bless you and your loved ones throughout this season of grace.

Grace and Peace,

Rev. Douglas Madlon
