There are times when words seem so inadequate, so incapable of conveying the heart’s message. Even the most learned etymologist would experience difficulty in articulating appreciation and gratitude for the acts and deeds of the loving people of Friendship. On today we share with the Greeters their Annual Day. What a great group of people, who contribute significantly to the expansion of the Kingdom of God. On this day we recognize the Greeters, and as such, we all share with them their core ministry. Today, we are all Greeters. In a much larger sense, the Greeters are part of the whole, “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ” (1st Cor. 12:12). How thankful we are to God for the Greeters, and we appreciate their faithfulness to the Kingdom. The same can be said concerning the choir, the Missionary Society, the Brotherhood, the deacon’s and trustees, the ushers and each and every member of the Friendship family. To simply say “thank you” for all the awesome work and deeds that Friendship members do for the Kingdom, and for this Pastor and his family seems totally inadequate, however, it does convey the hearts message. To the Greeters and to all of Friendship: THANK YOU! and “The Lord bless you, and keep you: The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.”
Pastor J. Amos Jones
