What an encouragement it was to be with Pastor Reid and the good people of Temple Baptist Church, Fredericksburg. The preaching was VERY encouraging, the special music so uplifting, and the Asian buffet spread 2nd to none. Brother Reid certainly has the gift of encouragement. He is such a joy to be around. We were also thrilled to hear from two church plant candidates, Brothers Naylor and Howsare. We will be recommending them for support at our February meeting.
Speaking of February, we are thrilled to be able to travel to Northern Virginia to be with Pastor John Mix and the good folks of First Baptist Church of Kingstowne. Brother Mix really knows how to put the emphasis on PREACHING, and you are bound to be blessed. Don’t let the traffic frighten you, as it has been lighter due to many people telecommuting. If you are concerned, make plans to travel the night before and enjoy the many offerings of the DC region.
Come to be blessed. Come to be a blessing. Your fellowship and friendship are cherished treasures. During these crazy times, your fellowship and friendship are needed now more than ever.
Looking forward to seeing you in Alexandria.
Your Servant,
Brother Bishop
