On Sunday, October 10, 2021 Friendship Missionary Church would normally have celebrated Usher’s Annual Day. As you know these are not “normal” times. We are in the midst of a pandemic and some of our activities have been restricted. That notwithstanding, our love, our gratitude and our appreciation, certainly has not been restricted. The Friendship family owes a debt of gratitude to President Craig Miller and all of the committed members of the FMBC Usher Board.
The Psalmist says in 84:10 NLT: A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.” What a perfect depiction of the members of the Usher Board. Ushers, we thank the Lord for your total commitment to the task that He has given you and for your selfless dedication and devotion to the church. Jesus says in John 13:35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” “Love one to another”, Ushers, that’s you! “Love one to another”, that’s why you serve so well and give so well. “Love one to another” is why you are first-class in what you do. Verse 35 is the result of what Jesus said in verse 34: A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” Ushers, thank you for being loving examples of Jesus’ love.
Lastly, usher we appreciate that every Sunday you are on your posts with a Colossians 3:23 dedication. Be blessed as you continue in Him.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
