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
