Hello Friends and Family! It’s so exciting to have you with us today. It’s our hope that you experience God and get to know us a little while you’re here. At Twin Cities we want everyone to know that this is a safe place to hear about the love God wants us all to experience through Him. We want to warmly welcome you. Each week during our prayer time we ask God to speak right to the heart of the needs of every person here. God is personal, and He cares. Will you open your mind today and receive from Him exactly what He knows you need?We’re in a series called “Encouragement for Today’s Family. Just as I’ve never heard a person who said, “I get all the encouragement I need,” I’ve never heard that from a family either. Let’s face it, forming a family system that works smoothly is just difficult. With all the stresses, competition for time, complexities and cultural forces, building a family is difficult. Therefore, we’re going to devote these next few weeks to giving families a boost. While you’re here today, I invite you to stop by our Next Step Bookstore to look at the books I picked to help us learn more about ways to build encouragement into our families. You can also pick up some Lanna Coffee. The proceeds of each purchase go to help the Northern Hill Tribes of Thailand who grow the coffee for their livelihood and benefit our Student Ministries Scholarship Fund.Looking for encouragement with you,Pastor Ron
