Dear Members & Guests,
Today, we are celebrating Men’s Day. In so doing, we are
highlighting the positive male role models here at St John and
celebrating their achievements and contributions in the
community, their family, marriage, and with their children.
The ability to sacrifice your needs on behalf of others is
fundamental to manhood. Men make sacrifices everyday in
their place of work, in their role as husbands and fathers, for
their families, friends, communities and nation. Men’s Day is
an opportunity for members and guests to appreciate and
celebrate the men in their lives and the contribution they make
to society for the greater good of all.
We welcome our guest preacher today, Rev. Dr. Steven Russell
from Calvary Baptist Church, Baltimore. Pray for and with him
that as he preaches today, more men will be inspired to do, give
their lives to the Lord, and do more for Him in the church and
our surrounding community.
Be blessed,
Pastor Robert Turner
