Practicing His presence through worship is one of the most valuable things we can do. God has promised that as we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and we will experience His presence in ever increasing measures. We have a gift for you at the Visitor’s Table. Please accept this tote bag as our gift of appreciation and be sure to pick up a calendar. Provided today by Tina Shimek Celebrating Glen’s Birthday And The Wendt’s celebrating Fred & Pam’s and Adam & Mandi’s Anniversary We are a Stephen Ministry Congregation! Who will benefit from Stephen Ministry? We will soon begin training for this ministry that will benefit many others besides those who receive the care of their Stephen Ministers. The Stephen Ministers grow greatly as they learn about helping others. They learn about themselves. As the hurting members of our congregation grow stronger through this caring ministry, the whole church is built up and made stronger. And, of course, we all can have the confident knowledge that when the pains of life come our way, someone will always be there ready to care for us, to bring God’s love to us in a special, personal way. Perhaps God is calling you to be one of these caring, committed servants who offer His love to those who are hurting For additional information, you may also call Lynn Gustafson at 817-563-2340 or email at ASLCStephenMin@gmail.com.

As I set sail with the Divine, I welcome new insights and surrender to the good that awaits me. I trust the process of life, daring to leave behind the safe harbor of old ways.
