Not sure what to say?

He was a good pastor

Mrs. Ceal, I’m so sorry for your loss. Brother Joe was a welcome sight for a young person in a new place. He welcomed me to the church and always went out of his way to make me feel cared for, loved and found a way to make me smile. I look back with fond memories of my time in Greenwood and it was in large part thanks to him and how he lead the church. What a testament to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God be with you and God bless you during this tough time.

Sending prayers and hugs for peace, comfort, and strength in the coming days. We love you Leah and your family.

It was such a blessing to have him as our pastor, but even more so to have him as a friend. He was truly a kind, caring and dedicated pastor.

What a caring loving full of life and Jesus man and Pastor to our family. Loved his time as Pastor to us

I’m so sorry to hear about Mr Joe. I’m so glad that I got to know him. I’m praying for your family.

A Godly Man, a great Pastor and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to serve with him at FBC Greenwood, MS.

2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, (Psalms 103:2-4 NIV)

Just want the Family to know that they are in my prayers❤
