Pastor's Corner

Dear Wyebrook Church Family,

Psalm 34:8-9 “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”

“In Times Like These” is a special hymn in my heart that encourages me in times of distress. This hymn was written by Ruth Caye Jones of Wilmerding, PA. She was discouraged from reading the news of her local paper, so she turned to her bible for encouragement (a perfect idea!). In 2 Timothy 3 she read “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come”. It was this verse that prompted her to write this hymn.

As the hymn declares, in times like these, we need an anchor. Let the hope of Jesus Christ be our anchor in the midst of the storm. No matter if natural disasters, political disasters, or personal disasters, we have an anchor and a resting place. I praise God for His work this past month! For in the midst of our world’s storms, we have seen Him open doors to reach many with our Back to School and Layton Park outreaches. Pray that God brings the increase, and that we can continue to reach souls with the hope of the glorious gospel!

This month, our Awana season begins, and we look forward to what opportunities the Lord opens with reaching our community for Awana. During our summer evangelism outreaches, we have also been spreading the word for our Awana program as well. Pray that the Lord will bring forth the increase and may the Spirit nurture those who come in faith.

This month also includes our Fall Harvest Festival (formerly Round-up Sunday) on September 20th. We are looking forward to this opportunity to host this community event and use it to reach others for Christ. Please pray this may be a fruitful effort and invite others to also come and enjoy the fellowship and fun!

In the labor and love of our Lord,

Pastor Kenneth Miller
