PASTOR'S CORNER

Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

I am so thankful that we have four people who are joining the church this Sunday.

I am so thankful that we will be baptizing Eric and that he will become a member of Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church. I am so thankful that we will have the opportunity to teach and learn together as we all grow in faith!

Thanks be to God for granting us the growth,

In Christ,

George
