Pastoral Epistle – November 30, 2022

Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭10
A wonderful promise from the Word of God to remind us that we always have His protection and care.  In the midst of the challenges we face, we know that His tender care and compassion is always there for us. 
We are thankful to Fr. Harold Shepherd for accepting to cover for me at a short notice.  He led the service so gracefully.  Praise the Lord! I am recovering and am looking forward to seeing you all at church this Sunday. 
We are immensely thankful to our dear volunteers who have been generous with their time to decorate the church.  The Lord richly reward them. 
This Sunday, we will celebrate the second Sunday of Advent and light the candle of Peace.
