a L I N E
In the last year I have tried to connect with as many pastors as possible. The fact that I am also a pastor makes it more difficult for me to connect with them and our churches. In the next months I plan on visiting churches in their Sunday night services. I know in many cases the attendance won’t be large, but I still want to connect in any way that I can. I will let you know in advance when I plan to attend.
I know that many of our Bivocational pastors can’t meet with us for our weekly lunch and breakfast meetings. I hope to meet with them, as well as their wives, for dinner soon. I want to get to know them and allow them to get to know me. I also want to inform them of the many ministry opportunities that they and their church can get involved in.
We have ordered our feeding team trailer that is being custom built specifically for this ministry. We are looking for volunteers to serve on this trailer in times of local disasters and/or emergencies. Please let me know if you are interested in serving in this ministry. Also, please let me know if you are interested in serving in our wheelchair ramp ministry,
Merry Christmas from the Haynes family to you and your family.
From,
Your Fellow Pastor and DOM
