Pastor's Corner

I am assuming that there are many people reading this that have the same feeling many times.  You try so hard, but it feels like nothing good comes from it and you feel weary of doing good for the world.  I also believe that a church can go through those same feelings.  Many of you in the congregation have worked so hard and long at Margaret Hank Church and it seems like things just keep getting worse.  However, I have some good news.  This year has been a great year for our church.  Our attendance has increased as well as our giving.  Our outreach ministries have grown and continue to grow. 

We at Margaret Hank have been doing good things the last couple years and I am proud to say that we will be able to continue doing good things because of the actions we have taken in the last couple months with regard to our property.  I know that many are anxious and worried about what is going to happen in the future and I have no words of comfort to ease that anxiety except to say that it doesn’t matter.  The Lord tells us, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”  The truth is we do not know what is going to happen in the future, but we determine each and every day if we will choose to do good. 

Continuing to do good will be the hard part because we can become weary and we may be tempted to quit and take it easy for a while.  The problem with taking it easy is that if we give up and take it easy, then we will not reap a harvest.  I thoroughly believe that God has a harvest prepared for us at Margaret Hank and many years of ministry left.  We must hang on to this promise from scripture, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
