October 20th Announcements

THANK YOU:
“Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."  Phil. 2:2
I would like to thank the entire congregation and especially those who worked so hard to make the celebration of my twentieth ordination anniversary a very special day.  It was a joy to hear the organ being played so beautifully and the congregation singing our faith so boldly at both the recital and the prayer office.  My family and I have been truly blessed and are incredibly thankful to the Lord for calling me to a congregation that is wonderfully committed to God's Word and truly appreciative of God's gifts.  
In Christ, Pastor Johnson
