Let me first comment on the wonderful Joy Group Dinner we had at the beginning of the month. Retired Greeneville police officer Stewart Kilgore came and spoke to everyone there about ideas and things to notice out in public and at home to help with safety. I wish I could say we live in a town where there is no violence, but that just isn't the case; and it pays to be deligent to protect one's family and self.
Also, those that attended the Joy Group trip to the seafood restaurant in Elizabethton had a wonderful time and great food.
There has been some things that have taken place in the last month concerning my Interim Pastoring at Tacoma Church of God. At the beginning of the month they invited a pastoral candidate to come and speak. After meeting the gentlemen the congregation voted and asked him to come be their senior pastor; and he accepted. Brother Richard Ballard from Ohio will be coming in June to lead the congregation at Tacoma. I will continue to preach and teach for them until then.
I along with others are praying that the congregation of Tacoma will return to and become a church that will increase God's Kingdom and help change the commnunity they are in.
As for me, I am loving the opportunity to preach and teach; and serve both the group of people of God's Church - at First Church and Tacoma.
A servant of HIS!
