Dr. Denny Autrey, Interim Pastor Dear Mims Family, What an awesome time we had in April! God is so faithful to meet our every need. The Easter Celebration Service was an anointed time of worship with Steve Ladd and the Mims Choir/Orchestra. I am so grateful for the faithfulness of so many of the Mims family during this transition time. Super Sunday Celebration was exactly that – SUPER! Thanks for your presence in making it a special day for the whole church family. The coming Sundays in May will also a blessed time of worship as we see more folks baptized (May 6), rejoice with our Mother’s and families over the joy of children (Mother’s Day, May 13), experience our AWANA’s kids choir (May 20), and honor our graduates (May 27). You will want to be present for every Lord’s Day in May. Please pray for me as I travel to the country of Nigeria on the evening of May 13 to participate in a Pastors Confer-ence for students at the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary in Lagos, Nigeria. Let’s be reminded to keep the Pastor Search Committee in our prayers as they continue to seek God’s man to lead Mims BC. Angela and I love you and count it a great honor and joy to serve as your Interim Pastor during these glorious days! May the Glory of the Lamb of God shine on you and yours! Pressing on until He comes, Bro. Denny
