God Is Love

The sermon series over the last 2 weeks has been Love is Here. I love this title because not only is it a great reminder for remembering Christ being born but it's a reminder that Christ is always with us and we must share that love with others.

This past Sunday as I had a chance to sit in the service, I was actually brought to tears as I listened and observed our Graystone family singing about God's love - specifically one of our own Graystone Kids. Dustin's, our youth pastor, son was in the service to hear his mom sing How He Loves Me. The chorus has these words:

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us...

The little 3 year old stood beside me and sang with all his heart about how much Jesus loves us, him, you, me...We do our best at Graystone to teach about how much God loves each of us. But, it's also so important to teach about God's love at home. I'm sure Dustin and Erin have been singing about How Much God Loves them. Family is so important. I pray this Christmas season is a time for your family to reflect about how much God loves you!

An exciting new building

This Sunday will be our first service in our new building. When I joined Graystone, my husband and I joined, not because of the incredible music, speaking, and modern twist (though that is just an added bonus) but we could see and feel God moving. I knew I wanted to be a part of what God was doing and how He will impact this community with the love of Christ.

There has been so much work, prayers and anxiety leading up to this Sunday. However, what I'm most excited about is watching the children as they see this new facility for the first time on Sunday. Their excitement and love of their church should refuel us all as we strive to serve our Savior! Stop by the children's wing on Sunday, it's going to be fun!
