Youre invited to celebrate Independence Day
with Dynamite Duo and The Sparklers! The free-
admission concerts will be held Monday, July 3, at
7 PM and Tuesday, July 4 at 2 PM at First Baptist
Church, 404 W. Benjamin Ave. in Norfolk.
The concerts will feature patriotic, sacred,
Broadway and golden oldies music performed to
the glory of God by local musicians on organ and
grand piano, band and stringed instrumentation.
The church is air-conditioned and handicap-
accessible. Doors open one hour prior to show
times. All are welcome to attend.
Congratulations on a secret well kept!
It was quite the surprise to come to
church on June 11 and find out that
you all were celebrating my 5 years of
being at St John's and my 10 years of
ordination. I didn't have a clue you
were doing it that morning until Pastor
David said something at the start of
8:30 AM Worship. Good job,
everyone! And THANK YOU SO MUCH
for all the kind words, cards, notes,
well wishes, breakfast treats, gift
cards, and bottle of wine! Your
encouragement and gratitude is
always greatly appreciated, along with
your being the body of Christ and
doing God's work with your hands.
Thank you!
~~Pr. Justin & family
