A note from Pastor Philip: Psalm 100:5 declares, "The Lord is good and His love endures forever!" I am honored that God has chosen to plant my family's life with your lives in Manatee County. His goodness has been evident all along our journey to join you in His mission. He has made His love known in a multitude of ways as we have sought a clear understanding of His will. As we begin this new phase of life and ministry with you, Angie and I want to say thanks for your outpouring of love as well. We deeply appreciate the big smiles and hugs from so many of you. Now, we will get to lock arms, get shoulder-to-shoulder, and continue the work of gospel ministry in our community. As we press ahead, let me ask you to do two things: 1. Read Psalm 100 aloud in your home. Do it with a loud voice and a passionate heart. Make it the declaration of your faith in the God we serve. 2. Invite someone new to your Bible study group. Our church is so great at ministering to people who need hope and those who don't know they need it yet. Ask the Lord to alert you to every opportunity to share the Good News with those around you. I have every expectation that the Lord is mightily at work among us. I'm honored to serve Christ and His church in Bradenton. Until the whole world hears,
