Today we will celebrate Deacons’ and Trustees’ Affirmation Day, thanking the Lord for affirming our Deacons and Trustees here at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church. Today is the day to let it be known that we appreciate you for your great dedication to the service of the Lord and how you tirelessly keep the work of the Lord going, (as He would have it.) As Interim Pastor I would like to admonish you on your day.
I ask that you keep that same Holy Ghost Spirit, which you have shown in your faithfulness and your dedication to God and to God’s people, as Deacon Stephen did in Act 6. Continue the good work for the Master on this day that has been set aside to honor you as God’s servants.
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and to be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Numbers 6:14-16) …In the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost. Matthew (28:19)
Stay encouraged in the Christ we serve.
