From the Desk of the Pastor
I greet you in the name of God the father, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and guide. Words cannot begin to describe the feeling that I have at this moment. As I reflect over these last ten years here at the Emanuel Baptist Church, the only word I can use to sum up the experience is “awesome”! What a wonderful time we have had in this anointed place. Serving as Pastor here is truly a humble calling that I do not take lightly or for granted. I speak truthfully from my heart when I say that I needed Emanuel more than Emanuel needed me. I thank God for this wonderful opportunity that He has bestowed upon me. Serving as pastor here has helped me in my spiritual growth through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word.
As we continue to journey to the conclusion of this year, I am prayerful that God will continue to dwell within the edifice of Emanuel Baptist Church and that He will give us a deeper revelation of Himself in our lives. Let us strive to grow in the knowledge, grace, and truth of Him. Believe it or not, for all that we have seen in these past ten years, God has even more in store for this great church and His people. I solicit your continued prayers in the ministry here. I pray that the God of grace, mercy, and peace will forever be in your lives, your homes, and every endeavor you undertake. Let us always look to Jesus and live for His return; loving one another in brotherly love and serving him in spirit and in truth. Know that you all are special to me and I carry a love for you in my heart that is unsurpassed.
Your Humble Servant in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery Thompson, Pastor
