Twenty Years

September 12, 2007

How can we ever say thanks for your kindness shown to our family this past Sunday night! Honoring us as you did for our 20th year at Woolsey Baptist touched our hearts in ways I can not even explain! We will never forget that night and your words of affirmation and the generous gift. Many of you have asked me if I was surprised. Yes, I was surprised. My mind Sunday night was on the DVD series we are showing and on the upcoming revival. I did get a bit suspicious when I saw so many people present. Even though we have been having some really good Sunday night crowds, I knew there were a lot of folks here. Then, when Don Lanier came up and said, "You are not preaching tonight- we have a surprise" I was in for quite a night. I just want you to know that being your pastor is one of the great honors in my life. I love you and I love what I do. You just amazed us with your love and thoughtfulness on Sunday night. The opportunity to take "a trip of a lifetime" is just simply beyond anything we can imagine. God has been so good to us in allowing us to serve in this great church. We love you dear people. All we can say is Thank you and know that from the bottom of our hearts we appreciate all that you did to make us feel so valued on the occasion of 20 years as pastor and family of Woolsey Baptist Church. It is my sense that some of our greatest days of fruitfulness as a church are ahead of us. Let us press on to serve our Lord Jesus Christ together in these days.Thank you and know that our family loves you.
