Pastoral Epistle – October 19, 2023

Beloved Congregation,

Greetings in Jesus! 

“The fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.”  Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭23

God invites us to press on with the fear of him. When we have a reverential fear of God, it will lead to life and we will also be protected from all evil. 

This Sunday Baptism:  We are glad to baptize four candidates this Sunday. 

1. Sean Auger
2. Hephzibah Ajayi 
3. Heritage Ajayi 
4. Emmanuel Ajayi 

Kindly remember them in your prayers for God’s blessings and guidance.
