Good Afternoon FB and Friends
Well, we reached the end of another week and the Lord is still by our side. We have had a wonderful time together this week at VBS. It has been one of the best attended we have had. I want to start by saying thank you” to everyone who worked to make VBS possible this year. Thanks to Sis. V. Jordan, W. Jordan, G. Hawkins, L. Collins, Dea. E. Collins and anyone else who worked with the classes. Thank you M. Eddy, C. Rorie, R. Muirhead, O. Simpson and anyone else who help prepare food each day for us. And of course, a special thanks to Bro. T. Funderburk for serving as director and organizer for VBS. Without all of you it wouldn’t have been what it was. Also, thanks to Bro. E. Jordan for driving the van and picking up the young people.
The theme for the week was “Celebrate Jesus”. The teachers did a marvelous job staying with the theme for the week which was evident by the presentations on Thursday from each class. Now, allow me to put on my pastor’s cap. There are going to be times when we don’t see things the same way. And that is because we don’t have perfect knowledge. But the important thing is that we keeping seeking the truth and never ever allow any disagreement on how we understand things to affect our love for each other. As the hymn writer penned, “we will all understand it better by and by”.
Also, we all have our unique ways of doing and saying things. And while you may not do or say something the way someone else does and even feel offended, remember the reverse can be said of you. None of us are the same and that is a good thing. We should celebrate our uniqueness and learn and grow spiritually from it.
Finally, a reminder to all men of our practice tomorrow at 12:00 pm for Men’s Day. You can still bring a song if you have one. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Let’s work to be the best father we can be. Happy Birthday to K. Jordan on Saturday. Verlinda and I will celebrate our 28th year of marriage if we live to see tomorrow. Keep Pastor D. Chambers of St. Davie in your prayers who is recovering from a serious illness. Let’s have a wonderful, safe and joyous weekend. And, I hope to see you in the Lord’s House on the Lord’s Day.
Blessings
Pastor Jordan
