Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The churches of the Pamunkey Baptist Association have been mercifully blessed by God with solid pastoral leadership and encouraging fellowship. This month, the Bethany Baptist Church celebrated the Pastoral Anniversary of Reverend Shelwood Claude. Oak Grove honored their Pastor, Dr. Raymond Palmer, on his First Anniversary as well. Our Executive Board continues to handle the business of the association and the clergy continue in the spirit of the late Dr. Leo Wagner, “We Work Better Together.”
We have also worshiped well together as we met at the Third Union Baptist Church for the PBA Division of Clergy Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday, November 20th. The Rock Spring Baptist Church led us in song with Mt. Sinai’s ushers in service. We were blessed with a powerful sermon from Rev. Michael Ferguson who preached from Luke 17:11-19 “What Have You Done For Me Lately.” We were well reminded to give thanks and praises to God for giving us his healing and mercy.
Various churches are busy preparing to celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ into the world. Bethany, Third Union, and Trinity will participate in the King William Emergency Ministries “Christmas Through Song” fundraiser to be held at Sharon Baptist Church on Sunday, Dec. 2nd at 6pm.
May God continue to bless and guide you this Holiday Season.
