Faith Family
From the lineage of Adam, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-to the nation of Israel-through King David to Jesus-to all those who believe in Jesusthe Scripture is a story of family. Some will surround themselves with family this time of year as contemplate the hole that has been left without their presence. Might I encourage everyone in our church family this yearbe on the lookout for your faith family. Your family of faith here at Keene need you. They need your cheerfulness, your encouragement, your time, your ear [not literally I hope!], your hug, your kind words and thoughtful card, etc., etc., etc. You matter in the life of this congregation. You matter because you are needed not only for the things already listed but also for just you. You are family. May each of you have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. And may you grow with the faith family at Keene. In Jesus, through Jesus & for Jesus, Pastor Matt
