Day 27/40
Hello everyone!
I pray that you are getting off to a great week. Sonja and I are in Aiken, South Carolina today for our annual denominationally sponsored “Prayer Conference.” I arrived for a 1:00 p.m. District Overseer’s meeting and our State Bishop assured us that our state is doing great. I praise the Lord for that. Our church has a part in making that happen. I don’t say a lot about denomination issues back at home, but I assure you that our church is highly respected in our denomination and is a pace-setter. Your commitment and leadership is a blessing to many. I am always proud to be known as the pastor of the great Fort Mill Church of God.
On a sad note, I learned this afternoon that one of our dear, dear men died today – Ray Plyer. Ray was a prince of a man. I have the highest respect for him. He was one of the pillars of our church and will be missed sorely. I send my deepest condolences to his dear wife and family.
I know many of you will be in attendance at our evening 40-day prayer service. Pastor Wayne will be leading the service and I know he will have a good word for you. You will be in my thoughts. Even though I will be in church tonight I will be missing you. I will be praying for you and thinking fondly of you; please do the same for Sonja and me.
With kindest affection,
