Weekly Pastoral Updates by Pastor Steve - 08JUN25

Good afternoon, Cedar Grove!

What a wonderful weekend the men had at Camp Stillwood! Pastor Steve Witmer truly knocked it out of the park with his teaching on the Father's blessing. Below is a photo of all the men pouring out blessings on Rick in appreciation for his perseverance and dedication in organizing such a meaningful week.

Men, please send Pastor Steve (steve@the-grove.net) some highlights from the retreat so we can share them with the congregation.

Women, get excited and register for your retreat in October—you won’t want to miss this incredible adventure with God in the fall!

Two Church Updates:

1. Church Cleanup Day
   Come to the church this Sunday in your work clothes, ready to help clean up our Father's house! Work begins at 9:00 AM and continues until 1:00 PM. Lunch will be provided for those working throughout the morning.
2. Tithing Reminder
   A friendly reminder that tithing is a meaningful act of worship. I won’t say more—just a gentle nudge ?.

How exciting it is to be part of the incredible ways God is moving at Cedar Grove! Can you feel it? Are you praying for renewal and revival? Join us at home or during prayer times at the church as we ask God to transform hearts, so we may continue being a gospel-focused church that reaches out to friends and neighbors.

I love being part of the team that helps guide us forward.
