This is it

Today is the day. I am preparing today to give my first sermon in the new sanctuary. I know that today will be an emotional day for everyone. I just pray the emotions don't take place of the Spirit. This has been in the works for the past 12 years. In July of 1997, Pastor Freddie Fields and his wife came to Rock Hill and started this great church. Pastor Freddie went to be with the Lord earlier this year, but I know that he would be very proud. He loved this church, the people, but mostly he loved the Lord. When I came here as interim pastor in Sept. of 2003, I was so lost about what a pastor was. God has given me grace, mercy, and time to learn. I am still learning, and my desire is to be a pastor after His heart. I want to be who the people need me to be. So many things have changed in the last 6 years, but God has never and He never will. Hold to His unchanging hand today. God bless.
