From Our Pastor

Pastor's Message
April 5, 2010

Dear Church Family,

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!  This coming Sunday, May 9, is Mother’s Day, and I want to encourage everyone possible to be in worship with your Mom.  What a wonderful way to honor that special relationship!  You might even take the opportunity to have your picture taken together which supports our Youth Choir.  Through the years, Mother’s Day has been a high point for worship and this day will be no exception.  Come and enjoy as we celebrate our faith and our Moms.

LET’S GO MAKE DISCIPLES IN PERU THIS SUMMER! This summer we will be taking a mission team to Yurimaguas, Peru, and you can be a part of it. There is only one requirement --- you must have a heart that is beating.  Literally anyone can go and be a part of this team.  Don’t worry about the finances; there is always enough money to do the work of the Lord.  We will help and also show you how to raise your mission support.

JOY AND I ARE HAPPY TO BE ASSIGNED TO IRVING FIRST FOR OUR FIFTH YEAR!  This Annual Conference I am anticipating being reappointed to Irving First.  In addition,  Joy has been elected as an ‘at large’ member of the Annual Conference which means we can actually celebrate our anniversary on the actual day of it.  Most years we have to settle for another day because I am at conference.

We have a rather large delegation going from our church to Annual Conference this year. Mickey (alternate) and Linda Wheeler will go as our representatives.  Bill and Mary Holcomb will attend with Bill being an ‘at large’ member as well.  Pete and Daria McNabb will be attending on Monday, and we hope to see Sammy and Barbara Hargrove at the retirees luncheon.

Always looking forward,

David Turner
