Pastoral Epistle-June 22, 2022
Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.” Psalms 149:6
We, God’s people have the privilege of having the high praises of God in our mouth. We must also have God’s Word which is the two edged sword in our hands. Then we will be more than conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise the Lord for the wonderful Father’s Day Celebration last Sunday. Thanks to our ladies who prepared a great luncheon for us on behalf of our father figures. Thank you sister Ramya and brother James for training our youth and children to perform so well. We’re looking forward to more exciting events.
