Dear Redeeming Grace,

There are four simple words that can make all the difference in our lives:

"I am with you."

This is the promise God spoke to Paul that we looked at last Sunday: And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you..." (Acts 18:9-10a ESV)

Dave reminded us last week how God's presence can dispel our fears as we walk through the peaks and valleys of all life's seasons. When we know and trust that God is with us, we are strengthened for anything that faces us.

This reminder is timely for us as a church as well. In the coming months we'll be looking back to remember how God has been with us as he has built Redeeming Grace over the last 10 years.

Soon we'll be moving out of our building while construction begins. As we adjust to meeting at Liberty Elementary, what a joy it will be to know "I am with you!"

As our departure day from our current facility draws closer, we have a number of wonderful things ahead including a Next Steps Luncheon, Baptisms and a 10th Anniversary Celebration Sunday. Please be sure to read more details on these important events in our church newsletter, which you can subscribe to on our website if you don't already receive it.

We praise God for his faithfulness and his presence with us!
