But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. II Peter 3:18. 

     The apostle Peter commands the believer to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Spiritual growth is a process that occurs over time. The more we know, the more we grow and the more we share with others. Are you growing in your relationship with Christ? Because genuine disciples are growing disciples and our growth should be evident in how we walk, talk and live for Christ. 

     Church, let us continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God. By studying the word, applying the word and sharing the good news about Christ. Remember, as believers we are a progressive people because we serve a progressive God!

Miracle is preparing for our Pastor’s 16th appreciation celebration for the month of October.  The theme this year is “Our Pastor, Teaching Us to Trust God”, Psalm 91:1-2. The appreciation colors are grey, blue, pink and white.  We have been afforded the opportunity to honor God’s very own, Pastor Arthur Thompson, Jr. for 16 years of committed service to our Lord and Savior and the entire membership of Miracle Missionary Baptist Church.

Over the past 16 years serving as Pastor, Rev. Thompson has been faithful in his devotion to the Lord, his calling to the ministry and the teaching to God’s people. The evidence of his faithfulness is witnessed in his “Winning Souls to Christ”. 

We look forward to this blessed milestone as God continues to smile upon us.  We look forward to your continued support and your showing of love for our Pastor.

The Pastor Appreciation Committee
