You will be missed pastor John! I was one of the first ones to enter your sanctuary for a Sunday service when all other churches closed their doors in 2020 due to the plandemic. You were the most courageous of all and kept the doors open and I love you for that boldness and uncompromising Spirit! You are the epitome of courage and godliness.
