Musings with the Pastor. What an awesome 43rd Pastoral Anniversary!
In the annals of pastoral anniversaries, this one without a doubt has to rank as one of the best. We praise God for His divine orchestration, for all the components were combined in a harmonious way and to God be the glory.
From “Friends of the Pastor’s” Night through the Anniversary Day festivities, everything was a reflection of love and caring. This Pastor is always humbled by such an out pouring of love. Words seem so inadequate when attempting to convey your thanks and appreciation for what was done and said in the anniversary, but words are all we have, so please accept these.
To every member of the Friendship family, on the behalf of this Pastor, Sister Jones and the entire family, please accept our thanks and appreciation for a job well done. Hear the word of the Lord: “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward” (Matthew 10:41a).
A big “God bless you” goes out to Sister Lynne Bryant and all of the volunteers who participated in the Summer Reading Program, “Kool-Aid Tuesday.” Once again, this year this program has been a tremendous success and a blessing to all who participated, both reader and listener. Literacy has always been very important to this Pastor, having served for several years on the Board of Directors of the Adult Reading Center of Pearland.
Our Vacation Bible School begins on tomorrow evening. Please consider this as your personal invitation to be part of this learning experience. Looking to see you at VBS.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
