How does a Pastor respond and what is his response to an event like the Pastor’s Anniversary 48? You see it as it was. WHAT AN OUTPOURING OF LOVE! It was the personification of Gal 5:22, the “fruit of the Spirit” and 1st Cor. 13, the “characteristics of love”. Thank you dear members for loving your Pastor and his family with “agape” love, the God kind of love. Everything about the anniversary spoke to love of Christ and love for His servant. There was a Colossians 3:23 tone in everything, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;” This pastor was truly blessed in every aspect of the anniversary. The lawn was perfectly manicured, the signage reflected caring thoughtfulness, the program spoke to 1 Thess. 5:12-13: “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves”.
The food, as always, was a special blessing. Our thanks and sincere appreciation goes out to the members of the Anniversary Committee, every program participate, the music department, the ushers and the sound room personnel, the cafeteria committee, the ministers and the deacons and trustees. Our thanks and heartfelt appreciation is extended to every caring gift giver. “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward”. (Mt. 10:41a). As always, Pastor George Hill and the members of Greater Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church were a great blessing. To God be the glory, Friendship, thank you for your love and we love and honor you.
We are in His Service,
Pastor J. Amos Jones
