Yesterday I had the privilege of moderating an ordination council for John Everett at Grace Community Church, Allentown, PA. John has served at Grace Community Church for several years as Youth Pastor, and has worked with Dr. John LaShell, Pastor of Grace Community Church.

John Everett handled himself well during the Ordination Council, and we as a council were pleased to recommend him to Grace Community Church for ordination. His ordination service will be held on Sunday, April 6 at 4:00 PM. I urge you to attend the service if at all possible. Grace Community Church is located at 1290 Minesite Road, Allentown, PA.

These ordination services offer a wonderful opportunity for our pastors and staff members to come together for support and encourgement. I was honored to be a part of this experience yesterday and was also pleased to see many of our Conservative Baptist pastors attending also.

A special word of thanks goes out to Dr. John LaShell for the great job he did in preparing John for his ordination council!

I am also making preparations to speak at the Men's Retreat for Millington Baptist Church this weekend at America's Keswick. I am looking forward to this special time with the men. I have been asked to speak on Discipleship. I would like to ask you to pray for this weekend, that God will work in a special way. Thanks!
