Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

Here’s wishing all fathers and mothers a blessed Parents’ Day! May the LORD personally repay what you have sacrificed for your family and kids! The great amount of time and energy you have spent on your children were all in hopes that their lives would be good and they would...
