Happy New Year! I hope that you are looking forward to 2017. I believe that God has some great things in store for our Wayside family. As we look toward a new year we should make sure that we set our hearts and minds on the things that are important to God. We are beginning a new sermon series titled, “We the Church.” Together we will be studying about the beginning of the church from the book of Acts. It is my desire that God would use these sermons to prompt us to be His church as He intended. When we as individuals allow God to change the focus of our hearts and minds it will help us to become more effective at serving the Lord. The first sermon in this series is titled, “Our Mission,” from Acts 1:6 – 11.
