September 27th Weekend Preview
Church Family,
This Sunday we continued our Love Above All series with EVERYWHERE and the reminder that the church gathers here, but the church lives everywhere.
Jacob woke up in Genesis 28 and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” God is already at work in the places we go every day: our homes, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, ballfields, restaurants, and everywhere in between.
So this week, don’t just go somewhere. Go there on mission. Look for where God is already working and show the love of Jesus to everyone, everywhere, every day.
I also want to give you an update from our congregational vote. We cast 120 ballots: 112 yes, 6 no, and 2 blank.
Thank you to every member who participated, prayed, asked questions, and voted. With the congregation’s approval, we will now move forward with securing the necessary funding and begin replacing our church roof.
I’m grateful for a church that continues to invest in the ministry God has entrusted to us, not simply to maintain a building. Still, so this building can remain a place where people gather, grow, worship, and are sent everywhere.
Love Above All,
Pastor Nate Sunday September 27th We’ll be hosting Family Sunday (Everyone Ages 5+ will be in the Sanctuary, Early Childhood Ministry will still be meeting) We’ll be led in worship by our NazStudents Band We’ll participate in Communion together We encourage you to participate in our Alabaster Offering.

For Good Update: Church Vote This Weekend
Sunday, we began our Love Above All series with a simple but powerful reminder from 1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” From Adam and Eve trying to cover themselves with fig leaves to Jesus being stripped at the cross, we're reminded that Scripture tells the story of a God who meets us in our sin and shame and covers us with grace. We tried to cover ourselves with fig leaves. God covered us with Christ. Because His grace has covered us, we are called to extend that same grace to others. As we continue to show the love of Jesus to everyone, everywhere, every day, I want to remind our members about the important membership vote before us regarding the proposed borrowing of up to $550,000 for our needed roof replacement and sanctuary lighting and video upgrades. This is an important decision in our church's life, and I ask each of us to prayerfully consider it. This is more than a financial decision. It is a stewardship decision about caring for the place God has entrusted to us and preparing it to continue serving people and ministry in the years ahead. Please pray for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we make this decision together. And as we go through this week, remember: Everyone. Everywhere. Every Day. Whoever God puts in front of you, wherever God sends you, may we choose to Love Above All. See you Sunday!

Discovering Our Strengths
Leadership isn't just about having a title or being in charge. It's about becoming the person God created you to be and using who you are to help someone else become who God created them to be. That's really the heart behind Mustang Naz Leads. We want to create an environment where leaders can better understand themselves, grow alongside others, receive encouragement and coaching, and intentionally invest in the next generation of leaders. Recently, I was talking with Robert D. Brown (he leads our Young Adult Group and is pictured above if you haven’t met him yet) about Mac Lake's Leading Yourself, and he asked a great question: “How do I discover my strengths?” One helpful resource that I’ve used is CliftonStrengths, which is an assessment developed by Gallup that helps you identify your natural talents and better understand how they influence the way you lead, relate to people, solve problems, and get things done. I learned that my top 5 strengths are: Competition, Empathy, Achiever, Belief, and Significance. This knowledge has helped me reframe the way I view myself in a lot of ways. Things I used to think may have been weak points were actually now celebrated. Things I thought I needed to be less of, I could now live into. To prove this point, here are a couple confessions of how I try to lay my skills down at the feet of Jesus. I sometimes worry about being overly competetive (just ask my family on board game night) but I’ve resolved to use my drive to be excellent as a springboard to becoming the best pastor that I know how to be. Not because I want to be competing against other pastors or churches, but because growing my skill in this area is one of the best offerings I can give to the Lord! Some days are hard and I wonder if things I do or say carry any significance in a world that is challenging. These days are hard, but it is comforting to know that my significance is not something I have been able to fabricate on my own. My significance is firmly rooted in the fact that Jesus loves me deeply and that God has called me to share His love with the world. My empathy tells me that I’m not the only one who needs to not just hear, but feel this good news. Seeing leadership through the lens of our strengths has freed me to focus on being who God has created me to be instead of just trying to measure up to who I think I should be. This way of thinking has also helped me see others for who God designed them to be instead of how I might see them on the surface. After being transformed in the way I think about things, (Romans 12), I’ve begun to consciously (and maybe even unconsciously) start seeing the things my friends were great at, and I began asking myself the question: “How can I help create more of what (insert name) is great at in their lives, our church, our community, and the world?” So let’s look deeper into what brings us joy today and analyze our strengths in this season of life. Discovering our strengths isn't about putting ourselves in boxes; it's about gaining a better understanding of how God has uniquely wired us. May we all become more intentional in how we serve, lead, and invest in others! -Pastor Nate
