From the Pen of the
Pastor,
We greet you in the name of Jesus Christ our LORD and
Savior!
There is no doubt that faith communities the world over
are faced with challenges unseen in the faith community in decades.
Nevertheless, we believe that our eyes have not seen nor have our ears
heard, yet, what God shall do for his people! Towards this end we
invite you to come and to worship with Simpson Mt-Airy in 2010. Lift
up your hearts and your hands to Almighty God and call upon the name
that is above every name!
Come and see this small but committed faith community continue
its joyful engagement in teaching and preaching the Word of God and
where rejoicing over the renewal of our baptism and the baptism of
those who follow behind us multiplies our joy in the inestimable love
and mercy of God.
Come and labor with us as we continue all of the ministries we
know have helped people in lean times: new blankets for families
living in local shelters, donations to UMCOR, food baskets during
Thanksgiving and Christmas, and school packets for the opening of
school each September.
Come and worship with us in February to celebrate God’s
faithfulness among Americans of African descent in our weekly worship
service. Or, join us on February 13 at 11am for the preaching of the
Ten Commandments and the Luncheon which follows the worship service.
Or, join with us on April 2 as we contemplate and preach The Seven
Last Words.
Believe us! We know how difficult the times are in which
we live; nonetheless, and until we meet again, we pray that God will
watch between you and the Simpson-Mt Airy family all the days of your
life.
Rev. Gregory J. McNeil, Pastor
