Pastor Appreciation Sunday.  Betty and I want to thank each of you who are a part of the Living Hope Church family for blessing us on this special day of recognition.  We know that a few of you played key roles in making this day a success and we very much appreciate it.  To our entire church family, we want to say, “Thank you for being here!”  It is our wonderful privilege to be able to “urge and guide you along in your obedience” to Christ (1 The 5:12-13).  We ask for your prayers as we continue to labor in the Lord’s vineyard.  May we all commit ourselves to a greater degree of sanctified, sacrificial service until Jesus comes to take us home!
