Pastor Will Shewey, Shades of Grace United Methodist Church
Matthew 5:1-12
Link to YouTube Video – “Be the Salt; Be the Light”
From Pastor Will Shewey:
Saturday morning worship was attended by a good crowd. Several first time guests were present.
The music was inspired by the Holy Spirit and the message was from Matthew, Chapter 5 about being salt and light.
You can also participate virtually in this service at afternoon on YouTube and Facebook Stream on our Shades of Grace page. Shades of Grace welcomes ALL people in Jesus’ name.
It doesn’t matter where you live, who you love, car you drive (or not), live in a house or cardboard box, attire, piercings or tattoos. God loves ALL.
As Oscar often says, “ Pray for all who deal with addiction and depression. The world needs a lot more love. So, let it go; let it go.”
Challenging all to exercise . . . 38.25 miles this week – 5.46 miles daily – Let’s get it done! Keep moving.
Ms. Belle Byrd lovingly and prayerfully knits prayer hearts for distribution at Shades of Grace. I recently made a post with a picture of her hearts. A number of people from out of town requested one. Today I received this letter with a testimony. The writer of the letter Is a clergy person. The letter speaks for itself. Don’t ever underestimate God‘s power and presence. Thank you Ms Belle and thank you Lord.

May eternal flames of the CHRIST candle continue to light our path as we walk each other home. My prayer is that not one of God’s little ones will ever be made to stumble because of my sincere efforts to fully follow the LORD. Thy will be done, LORD!
You can now listen to Shades of Grace on the Radio – FM 92.1
Everyone continue to pray for all who are feeling hopeless and helpless.

It’s amazing how so many wandering souls make their way to our doors every day. Lord, May we be faithful to your call.
