Sermon by Pastor Tom Brown · Oct 18, 2026

Friends and family,

Sunday morning was a rich and emotional morning for me.

It was our final Sunday as Vintage Faith Church.

I found Philippians 1 to be helpful as I process this transition.

1. I will call to mind & give thanks for the gospel grace we have shared. (3-6)

2. I will trust God to finish the good work of grace he began in us. (6-8)

3. In our new congregation I will love, then love some more, etc. (9-12)

During the service we took some time to call to mind the grace of God. Many of you wrote down a remembrance to place under a marker we will leave at the property. If you weren’t there or didn’t finish, there is still time to get one to us. I’ll make sure it gets in the box.

So much grace these 13 years! And God only knows what wonderful stories of grace are waiting to be written.

As we walk into this wonderful new chapter, let’s show up on Sunday ready to outdo one another in showing honor and love.

I recommend giving yourself some extra time these first few Sundays as we learn a new rhythm.

If you’d like to join us in praying over our first service, come at 9:30 and we will pray together in the sanctuary before the service starts. If you have any questions about the service, please feel free to reach out!
