Thank you so much for the warm welcome extended to

Linda and me. We’re very excited to be here and serve the

Lord with you.

To us, church is not a corporation but a congregation.

Church is a family, not a factory. It is a family of faith,

fellowship, ministry, evangelism, discipleship and mis-

sions. In the days ahead, we’re praying for revival and

evangelism to break out in every life.

Please call on us anytime you need me.

My cell number: 318-451-9141

Linda’s cell number - 318-381-9618

We’re both on Facebook and I also have a Twitter ac-

count.

I look forward to seeing you Sunday with a Bible in my

hand and a message from God in my heart.
