Dear Friends:

I’ve had the joy of being with United Methodists from all over North Georgia this past week in Athens. There have been many great moments, but there is one in particular that I want to share with you.

As Annual Conference kicked off with worship, I was overwhelmed with the reminder  of how blessed I have been during the past year. A praise team lead us in singing “God Is So Good.” We sang the chorus in English, then the band sang it another language. We continued to alternate the English with other languages until it had been performed in Spanish, Korean, Swahili, and American Sign Language.

“God is so good.

God is so good.

God is so good, He’s so good to me.”      

As we sang the final verse, my heart was filled with thanksgiving for all of the wonderful blessings and holy moments during my first year at Jonesboro First. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly. Thank you for worshiping with open hearts. Thank you for serving so joyfully. Thank you for embracing Bible study. Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity. Thank you for showing the love of Christ.
