Dear Church Family, Sunday evening August 17, 2008, Concord Baptist Church extended a unanimous invitational for me to serve as your interim pastor. I am both honored and humbled by this wonderful opportunity to partner for kingdom service. Our intent and purpose is to serve as pastor for as long as the Lord wishes during the search for a permanent pastor. From my perspective during this time of searching we should be even more diligence in our faithfulness to Christ and Concord Baptist Church than ever. This season is not a time for a spiritual vacation, this season is a time for faithful service to our Savior. Please know of my availability to you as pastor. Mrs. Tracey Harbin can relay your messages and set appointments or you may call or email me directly. My contact information will be on the web site and the church bulletin. One final thought, as we journey together may I ask you to pray for me daily. My life has been given to the Lord's service and I need his presence in my life each day. Your prayers will sustain your pastor as we serve the master together. In His Service, Lester Cooper |
