Greetings Cascade Family and Friends,
I want to take this opportunity to say a great big THANK YOU to several of you who made extra efforts to make this past weekend of full activities work well and go smoothly.
So here it goes:
Let's all continue to thank God for the generosity and great hospitality shown to us by the Berean Seventh-Day Adventist Church. They made us feel welcome and right at home.
In that same vein, a sincere THANK YOU is extended to the Sunday morning crews who showed up at Berean and took care of making sure that we had smooth and spirit-filled worship services. That would include Don Sykes, Gracie White, Christal Stills and Lee Henderson, who got the powerpoint, worship bulletins, and announcements ready early; the office staff; Karen Lowery, both the Chancel and Gospel Choirs, as well as the musicians and directors; Tiffany Brown and the Women's Ushers, Victor Grant and his security team; James Robinson and the building maintenance team; and Ruby Craft and Arthur Drayton and the finance team.
THANKS also to all of you who joined the Mass Choir and served at Bishop Sue's celebration of appointment service. Finally, THANKS to all of you who "weathered" the storm and rain to attend the opening night of Fall Revival at Ben Hill UMC. I can truly say, you are true servant leaders--a gift to the kingdom; and I am glad to be in service with you.
Finally, I want to invite you to come back "home" on Sunday, where we will experience a new and fresh look inside the sanctuary, as well as substantial parking lot improvements. We can thank Sharmeen Hawkins and our wonderful Trustee Board for being good stewards.
God is truly blessing us, Cascade. Join me Sunday as we help the United Methodist Women close out a spirit-filled weekend at the 8:00 am worship service. Rev. Jasmine Smothers will be our guest preacher; and in case you don't know yet, she can preach! See you tonight at Bible Study and on Sunday morning at 3144 Cascade Road!
Blessings,
Pastor Lawrence L. Young
