Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
For the next two Sundays it will be our joy to have our pulpit filled by two of our dear brothers and ministry colleagues. This coming Sunday, Rev. Jim Daughtry will be preaching. And then on June 12, Rev. Jeff Hamm will deliver the message. As you know, both of these brothers and their sweet families are part of our Church fellowship. What an honor it is to have two gifted PCA Teaching Elders among us! Jim and Jeff will be filling our pulpit while I am away on vacation from today through June 18. I will be back in the pulpit on June 19, and we will resume our studies in the Epistle of James.
While we are away I am hoping to engage in the discipline of ‘unplugging’ as much as I possibly can. Perhaps like many of you, I also sense a deep need to disconnect for a season from all of those devices that, for good or ill, flood our hearts and minds with information. In our age there is such a powerful tendency to become technology-dependent, even to the point of addiction. So, for the next couple of weeks I am going turn off the devices and allow the quietness and slower pace of life to do its work in my soul. I am so grateful for your encouragement to do this, and for the opportunity you graciously provide for us to rest and recharge. And thank you in advance for your prayers for us as we are away. We simply don’t have the proper words to express our gratitude for your love and prayerful support! As I have often said, I cannot possibly imagine a pastor who is more blessed than I am! You are my joy, and I love you all with all my heart!
Please pray most fervently for Jim and Jeff as they deliver God’s Word. I know you will be greatly blessed through them and the eternal message the Lord has laid upon their hearts.
In His abundant grace,
Mike
