We want it to be fully known that this is a fellowship that celebrates and supports its pastors and every clergy member. The apostle Peter in his insightful writings reminds the believers and the elders diligently serving among them, “And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear ye shall appear ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.” (1 Peter 5:4). Thank God that your labors are never in vain in Him.
Next month we shall be celebrating Thanksgiving, a special time set aside to give praise and thanks to the Almighty for all His amazing benefits toward us His offspring. In the following month, we celebrate Advent, the great truth of the Incarnation the coming of the Eternal Word forever tabernacle with us. This month has been set aside to give special thanks and celebrate for some of the greatest gifts given to the body of Christ to help equip and get us ready for His imminent return.
I trust that you will receive it when it receives it when we humbly say thanks again for your spiritual leadership, your ministry of oversight, your constant prayers, your faithful guidance, and your vigilant care as you carefully watch over our souls. We do not take it lightly, your example of Godly living, living, your timely advice and your carefully chosen words of wisdom as you cautiously seek to steer us in the right direction. We appreciate the many hours spent on your knees and in the ministry of the Word in order to uplift and strengthen us, especially in these last days, times of great stress and strain.
During COVID 19, you went above and beyond the call of duty to keep us connected and spiritually focused. You actually nurtured us as good fathers and mothers in the faith. For all that you do, seen and unseen, we remain grateful and go on record, one more time, continued successful operations of this church. Your reward shall be great, not just in this world, but especially in the one that is to come.
Let this book that you so graciously uphold, continue to encourage you today, It states, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58). Lady Chris and I feel honored to be serving alongside such notable team of ministers here in the Northeast Region, USA and Bermuda. Thank you always for your faithful and sacrificial ministry to this fellowship. We honor and salute you today! The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you always!
Bishop Leroy and Lady Christina Greenaway
