So many great people
are spelled with a U,
Don’t they have a
right to know JesUS too?
It all depends now on
what U will do,
But it starts with U.
Will you pass it on,
JesUS loves U!!

PASTOR DON’S VISION
FOR THE CHURCH
I want a church that:
1. Seeks to please God. (Romans 12:1)
2. Is faithful to God’s word. (Luke 6:46-49)
3. Is yearning to reach out to those who are “lost”.
(Matthew 18:13-14; Luke 14:12-13)
4. Is made up of people who are committed to cross-
bearing discipleship. (Luke 9:23-24)
5. Is humble enough to be a “sanctuary” of Christian
love for every person it touches. (Job 23:4;
Romans 12:3b)
6. Works for justice for all. (Matthew 25:31-46)
7. Is willing to “just do it!” (Mattnew 21:28-31a;
Luke 11:28; Philippians 1:15-18)
