Our thanks to the brothers and sisters of the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church for their warm hospitality and deep enthusiasm for the goodness of God. Barb and Colin and I were privileged to worship with this congregation this morning, making Barb and I, as far as I could tell, the only white people in the building. Pastor James Roberts, a dear friend of mine, has a wonderful ministry there. The congregation, as always, accepted us graciously and with joy.

For those of you who do not know, Hope Church and St. Paul Church often have joint services on Thanksgiving Day. It is pretty certain that we will be the guests of St. Paul this Thanksgiving.

(If you want to hear a sample of last year’s service, click here. You will hear a portion of Pastor James’ message.)

We are grateful to God for his kindness in allowing us to be with these brothers and sisters this morning.
