It is our privilege this Sunday to hear from the Reverend Dr. Stephen Estock. Stephen will be leading the Officer’s Retreat this weekend (which I know you’ll be praying for) and then on Sunday he will give a presentation during Sunday School on the role of the PCA Committee on Discipleship Ministries. He will be preaching during our Worship Service at which time we’ll ordain the four new Deacons you elected on May 17th! You don’t want to miss that! I’ve know Stephen for 23 years, both of us having been ordained in the Presbytery of Southeast Alabama. He’s been a great guy and a good friend for many years and I’m delighted to introduce him to my church family this Sunday. Dr. Dave
