What a BLESSING!!

On Easter Sunday, we celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with 99 in worship at Bear Branch for our parish-wide SONrise Service!.

WOW. To see all the smiling faces; to hear their laughter; to fellowship with the saints....it was more than amazing; it was a true blessing to my heart!

Jeannie and I continue to be amazed at the growth of God's people as we near the end of two years at this appointment; the Lord has truly been working in their lives...as well as in ours. During this time, we've shared many joys, and many sorrows; and this has strengthened us all in our faith, and knit us together as part of the larger family of God known as the Church.

I give abundant thanks to our Lord, and praise Him for the continued outpouring of His Holy Spirit upon this parish!

May God's Grace and Peace be with you and yours!! - Pastor Richard
