This Sunday is a special one because members of our youth group are away on their annual mission trip in Baltimore with Pastor Jessie and other adult COA members (pray for them please), and this means that we are blessed with a guest preacher. Helen Kelly, who has been a member and lay leader in this church for 35 years, will be delivering the message. Her sermon will focus on the following (her words):
In my message, I will be talking about how God doesn’t give us (or prevent) trials and tribulations, but that He is there to support us and give us tools to help us cope. We have all these issues, but we do need to keep them in perspective within God’s whole world and His actions. Action, Faith and Prayers are tools we can use that can help solve problems and manage our own mental health.
