To God Be The Glory!

When words escape me, I draw on the words of Scripture and/or song to give voice to the meditations of my heart. As I reflect on the Pastoral Anniversary Worship Service, these are the words that come to mind:

How can I say thanks

For the things You have done for me?

Things so undeserved

Yet You gave to prove Your love for me

The voices of a million angels

Could not express my gratitude

All that I am and ever hope to be

I owe it all to Thee

To God be the glory

To God be the glory

To God be the glory

For the things He has done.

As I reflect on the Pastoral Anniversary Worship Service, I give glory to God and I have immense gratitude to you, the amazing people of First Baptist Church. 

Sunday was absolutely perfect! When I arrived in the morning, I tried to “do” things and you all wouldn’t let me. From the start you made it abundantly clear that the anniversary was a day of rest and celebration for me. The music ministry was magnificent. The praise dancers were moving. The tribute was beautiful. It was a joy to see and hear members who do not usually participate in worship lead us. The violinist was anointed. The preaching was Inspiring and motivating. The glory of the Lord was in the house. The post service meal was delicious and the fellowship was even sweeter.
