Greetings! What a great day to be able to come to worship God. I’ve been looking forward to the singing
all week – as well as the opportunity to pray together and participate in the communion. I’ve also been
reading more about the wisdom of God, which is our focus this month in our sermons. I hope you have
been doing the same – and been as impressed as I am with both the practical application of the scrip-
tures to everyday life - as well as the inspiration of God’s word to our overall focus for the future. We
serve a great God!
Tonight, we will have a ‘pulpit swap,’ where Harold Redd will come to speak at Germantown while I
speak at Midtown. We are preparing for the area-wide service on Sunday, March 1, so this will be a
good time for us to be reminded of the quality of our joint effort and the need for all the churches in
Memphis to recognize our connection in a common effort. I trust that you will make a special effort to
come worship this evening – to praise God and encourage others. You will doubtlessly be encouraged as
well.
Let’s continue to build the congregation at Germantown in peace, unity and strength.
