VOLUME 23 ISSUE 44 Nov 3
from your Pastor
DR. ED M. LAURENA
I praise the Lord for another month He has entrusted to us! I am excited because this is our Missions’ month. In the past, we usually held three consecutive nights of Missions’ Conference; but this time, we decided to have a whole month- Missions’ emphasis instead. Thus, I encourage you to be faithful in every church service, to be attentive to every preaching and to value more the importance of supporting and sending missionaries, both local and abroad. Let us be challenged to be more zealous in spreading the message of missions, which is the saving Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There would be no CBBC, San Pedro, and perhaps we would not be reached with the Gospel if it were not for missions. I also would like to express my appreciation and commendation to every member who attended and involved in our Pastors and Sunday School Workers’ Conference this past week. Personally, I was blessed by the preachings and sessions. It is indeed a privilege to accommodate several pastors and members from different churches and be a help in challenging them to “rise up and build.” By God’s grace, let us pray that our church’s influence will encourage us and other churches to be more faithful in God’s service. Let us have a great Sunday and a blessed Missions’ month!
