Thank You From Pastor James

 

November has been a wonderful month filled with expressions of your appreciation and love for Donna and I.  I was presented with this precious poster that includes many photos of our time here.  Included are faces that have forever changed my life.  Some are still with us and others have gone home. They are a testimony to the work only God can do.  I am grateful to Him for HPBC and I look forward to many more years  here by His grace. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! - Pastor James
