THANK YOU is a simple word but when it comes from the heart it can mean so much. Monieca and I are genuinely thankful for you, our church family. Your prayers for us meant a lot and we appreciate you celebrating this experience with us. We look forward to being with you Sunday.

Thanks to Tom & Celeste Rinehart for taking us to & picking us from the airport. Thanks to the staff for all their work while we were gone. “Thank you” to you, our church family, for the opportunity to be your Pastor.

It’s good to be home and have a couple of days to catch our breath before returning to the normal daily routines of life. We arrived last night and our flight went well, except for waiting 90 minutes on the runway in Venice due to rain/lightning and waiting 50 minutes after we landed in Charlotte due to gate issues. We made our connection in Philadelphia – barely. Did the “run through the airport” thing. Had one hour to clear customs & security and make it to our gate. Got there as they were closing the gate…. Glad we had TSA Precheck.

Monieca and I are thankful we had to opportunity to travel to Italy and be with Jacqueline and her growing family. We also are thankful for our home here in Rock Hill and at FBC. It really is good to be home!
