MHP Monthly – April 2024

“For just such a time as this.” This is a quote from the book of Esther that we will start exploring this month. I wonder if we have ever considered the events in our life and how they shape and mold us? And how they make a difference in the lives of others? Esther made a difference in the lives of hundreds, but it was not without challenges and pain.

Into each life, we are given different trials that I firmly believe we get through, with the grace of God and the love of Christ to guide and sustain us.  I pray that you will remember that in your life and through your experiences and challenges, and the way you face them that those who surround you come to see life differently. And you will know that you were placed in their lives for such a time as this.

Peace be with you
Pastor Cherie
