As I wrote in the Annual Report: “Early in 2013 we will face a challenge. We bid farewell to our beloved Pastor and Shepherd, Margay Whitlock.”
During this type interval without our Shepherd that we must search our souls and discover the faith and strength she implanted there. We must not wander from her flock. Together we are strong and protected; apart we are weak and vulnerable.
And above all, we need the church for nourishment: to nourish our souls, our spirits, and our relationship with God. We need the church to strengthen our insights and Christian commitments.
These are times (intervals) that demand personal involvement of all Christians in the life and work of the Church.
Remember! The Church is the place in which God does His marvelous works, the theater of His Justice, mercy, goodness and truth; where He is to be sought, where He is to be found and in which alone He is retained.
Together we are strong!!
