And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why Scriptures say, How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring Good News. Romans 10:14-15 On behalf of the Pastor s Aide Ministry of Zion, we bring greetings to you on this your Special Occasion, your First Year as our Pastor. Just to think, the brevity of a year; it seems as if it were just a few past months ago your Installation Services were held at the church. Shortly thereafter, this ministry was reactivated and has worked tirelessly to assist in making your ministry both effective and efficient. We have purchased and read your book entitled, Church Without Limits; Connecting with Millennial Generation. Presently, we can see the connect, bridging the divide to bring together in a positive way God s people. A time for each one to appreciate the other in Kingdom Building. We thank and appreciate You, as our Messenger at Zion. You are writing a Gospel, a chapter each day. By deeds that you do, by words that you say. We can readily see Faith and Truth in you. Continue to share the Gospel, the Word of God gives to you! Happy First Pastoral Anniversary, Jessica Fluker and Joy Flemming, Co-Chairs Angela West-Barnett Cynthia Dantzler Mary Alice Graham Cynthia Gist Kathy Javis Shirley Levy Dolores Scott Anita Suber Doretha Thompson Otis Skip Walters Dea.
