Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters,
There's an expression that goes something like this, "A picture is worth a thousand words." This picture is worth more than words but actually leaves me with less to say except to say that I am thankful. Our Elders give themselves to the work of the ministry here out of their great love for the Lord and our church. It was such a joy to have Shawn both preaching on Good Friday and baptizing on Sunday. This what it looks like to be loved and led by multiple shepherds and I am just so thankful for these men who share in caring for you with me. I look forward to more opportunities to joining you under their preaching! It was pretty surreal to realize that yesterday was a first for me! I have never witnessed baptism in our baptistry at the church. It has been a long time since I have had the joy of participating from the witness stand and I must say I really enjoyed it. If you don't believe me, I was the one doing all the hollering up front. What a joy!
I pray you have a wonderful week in the Lord but just in case things get hard I want to share this reminder with you.
He is STILL risen! *He is STILL risen indeed!* |
