A Note from Pastor Lee
Well, it’s hard to believe that I have been with you as pastor for a year beginning this month. It’s been a pleasure to get to know the good people of Stockton Memorial Baptist and to worship together each Sunday. Our Bible study times on Wednesday nights have been a blessing, too.
I hope your summer is going well. Have you been able to “vacate” and get away somewhere fun and special? If not, I hope you will enjoy some time away to be refreshed. Right now, it’s HOT! I wonder what the rest of the summer months will bring. A hurricane? Thunderstorms? Prolonged heat? Who knows? Have you thanked the Lord for air-conditioning? – I have.
Debbie and I enjoyed our time as camp hosts at County Line Park in NC in June. For us, Kerr Lake is a wonderful place, and we have many memories of good times there with family and friends. We always meet a lot of nice people each summer. Some have been coming to this lake for a long time, while others are trying it for the first time.
Please pay careful, prayerful attention to the recommendation coming to you from the Future of the Church Team at the beginning of this month. They have been working on their task for a year and a half, and what they are proposing is the product of much thought, processing, and prayer. The recommendation will be considered at a business session on Sunday, August 4, and I hope you will be there.
We have so much to be grateful for as citizens of the USA. On July 7, we will observe Christian Citizenship Sunday. – Don’t miss it.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Lee
