Rev. Ryan’s Reflection of the Week

Rev. Ryan’s Reflection of the Week:

Greetings and grace to the saints at Altadore Church!
Thanks for the warm welcome during my first Sunday as Interim Pastor last Sunday.
In my message, I encouraged us to consider the journey of being "Baptist-y Baptists":
A community of faith that recognizes the unique distinctives of being baptist + following Jesus for the good of the world! 
To view the Baptist brochure that I shared, you'll find it attached in this email.
And. . . our "verse of the week" that I encouraged us to reflect on was Matthew 11:29. I encouraged us to imagine Jesus, smiling at us, encouraging us, and saying:
"Learn from me. . . for I am gentle and humble in heart. . . and you will find rest for your souls."
May the joy of the Lord be your strength as we journey towards Sunday.
--Ryan
