This month is "Pastor Appreciation Month!" We are so very thankful for the care and dedication of our pastors here at One Life Church. They are an incredible blessing to us all! Make sure to express your gratitude to Pastors Wayne & Rose, and Mitchell & Trina, and pray for them when they come to mind. It means a lot to them!

Encouraging Thoughts:
When we give our lives to Jesus, we become vessels for Him to dwell in. The more that we surrender to Him, the more He is able to shine His love through us! However, this doesn't mean that we have to get rid of our unique personalities and gifts. Instead, God has created us in His image, each one of us representing a part of who He is, and when we truly desire in our hearts to bring His glory to the earth instead of our own, He takes the unique things that He has put inside us and uses them to draw others to Himself! Isn't that exciting?
We may not know how to best use our gifts, but if we take the opportunities- even seemingly insignificant ones- that God brings our way, we can trust that He will work through us to be glorified!
