Connie and I spent Memorial Day weekend with the
Grad and Career group from First Presbyterian Church of Macon as I was invited
to speak for their retreat at Panama City Beach, FL. I was encouraged to be asked to do it and
Connie and I enjoyed the time with them.
I’m thankful for the leadership in teaching, worship and preaching
provided by Kevin Epperson, Keith Duvall, and Michael Collins in my absence.
This Memorial Day was a somber reminder of the
lives lost in service to our nation. It
was a special reminder of the loss of Mark Weber, who was once a part of our
HLPC family and who was killed in Iraq in March 2018 as part of the Air Force
Pararescue. His picture hangs in our
church hallway. We can pray for his
family as I’m sure this was a hard weekend for them and always will be.
When you come for worship this Sunday, you’ll
have no doubt that Vacation Bible School week is upon us! It’s my favorite week to preach as I stand before
the colorful backdrop. Please be in
prayer for our week of ministry June 3-7. Pray that God will work in the hearts
of the volunteers and of the children. Pray as well that He will provide safety for all (and
relief from the heat).
