This glorious gentleman is such a joyful blessing and encouragement to everybody! I requested him if he wished a ministry publish earlier than service, and he eagerly stated, “Sure!” (Pastor’s wives simply like it when anybody solutions “sure” to a query like this!) So I requested if he’d like to assist with greeting. We’d lately had a few of our longstanding greeters transfer out of state and actually wanted extra. He was delighted! I used to be delighted! And I do know he will probably be a lovely blessing to everybody who walks by way of these church doorways!
