Today is our annual Homecoming Day! A time set aside after the Pastor’s Appreciation to fellowship together with breaking bread with the membership. Normally we would gather together in the Fellowship Hall, but this year a meal has been prepared for us to take and dine at home.
Church, although we are not dining together, we can look forward to the future of breaking bread together. Thank you goes out to our Kitchen Ministry for preparing us a delicious meal with dessert to take home. Lord’s willing, next year, we will sit and dine together in the church Fellowship Hall.

Now ye Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. Philippians 4:15.
The late Andrea Crouch penned these words; How can I say thank you for the things you’ve done for me, things so undeserved that you gave to me. To God be the glory for the things He has done. To my church family, I’m humbled and count it an honor by God’s grace that you allowed me to serve you for these past 19 years. During these years together, we have grown and have partnered in ministry, all for the glory of God. Thank you for your support, patience, participation and gifts you have shown to me and my family. Also, to my immediate family, my wife, children and grandchildren, thank you for your unwavering love and support that they have demonstrated.
Church, God has blessed me with two loving families, and I will forever be grateful for both of them. Thank you goes to the P.A.C., Pastor’s Appreciation Committee, Deacon Eddie Tinson-Chairman, Sis. Peggy Jackson-Co-Chair, Bro. De’Undra Williams, Bro. Kriston Guillot, Deacon Eric Russell, Sis. Rhonda Clemons, Sis. Cynthia T. Jones, Sis. Diedre Bobo, Sis. Kelly Smith, Sis. Bobbie Broussard and Sis. Brenda Sasser for your diligence in leading the celebration.
