3 DURHAM COUNTY MISSIONARY UNION Sister Diane J. Lamb P.O. Box Durham, NC (919) (Home) (919) (Cell) FROM THE PRESIDENT "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Isaiah 1:18a Pastors, Circle Presidents, and all Missionaries I bring greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let me take this time to say thank-you for trusting me to lead the Durham County Missionary Union for the next fours years. I have been in prayer that God will lead us in the direction He will have us to go. That everything we do and say will be pleasing in His sight. It is going to take all of us working together to get the job done. I would like to thank all those Missionary Pioneers that have gone on before me, that paved the way for us to carry out the great commission in Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing then in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have Commanded you and Lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world." With God's help and my vision we will continue to carry on the legacy of the Durham County Union. I pray that we each will take the challenge to make this Union the best it can be. Yours In Christ Mrs. Diane J. Lamb, President Page 3
