September 2023 Pastoral Monthly Message

September 5th

Dear MO:

In these 1st two weeks, our Faith Walk is going tremendously well. Continuing as we are, we will be able to end the month reaching our goal and closing out the Conference Year successfully. Our Captains are contacting and organizing the members of their Team. Our Captains are: Dr. Broadnax, Charles Richardson, Wayne McFarlane, Edsel Moore, Dora Moore, Roy Evans, Christal Flagler, Mary Allen, Jannie Moore, Lucy Flagler, and Rosalind Vinson. If one of these persons have not contacted you, then they probably do not have your name; so, reach out to one of these persons and ask them to add you to their team. They will be happy to include you as we take this journey together.

As our Preacher’s Steward stated in our Member’s Meeting, over the past several months we have fallen off on our Sunday morning offerings. This causes a strain on the church when our Sunday morning giving is not where it should be. However, in the past 2 weeks we have seen a significant increase, which is much needed, and for which we thank you. Our Sunday morning offering(s) are our primary means of support, so please continue in the way you have these past couple of weeks.

Finally, I wish to thank you for your generous support. As I stated in the Members Meeting, I had confidence in your response to our need because you have always responded when I have asked. My confidence in you has only increased in the past couple of weeks, and I want you to know how much I greatly appreciate it. And now beloved, “…build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life (Jude 1:20-21).

Sincerely,

Dr. B
