Again, Words can’t express how grateful I am to be your Pastor.  Your expression of love on Sunday at the Anniversary Celebration, along with the many cards, gifts, monetary love offerings, words of kindness and your prayers will forever be in our hearts.  My prayer is that each one of you can say that I tried to love you as much and more as you have demonstrated your love for me and my family. As I have said many times before, as much as I am beyond appreciative of what you have done for me, I am more thankful for the love and support you’ve shown towards my wife, our children, and grandchildren.
