This week we are celebrating 5 years of Pastoral Ministry at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. I can truly say that time has flown by. It seems as only yesterday, I was accepting the call to this great church, to follow in the rather large footsteps of Pastor CT Walker, Pastor CS Hamilton and Pastor Otis Moss III. I must admit that initially it was a seemingly daunting task. I figured out very early, that the best way to approach this assignment was to bring and wear my own shoes. As I reflect over the last 5 years, I have learned the importance of Prayer, Patience and Perseverance. As I have seen God do amazing things at Tabernacle Baptist Church, I am so honored and humbled that God continues to show His Love for this body of believers through our Worship, Witness and Work. Over these past 5 years my purpose has been clarified(To Lead and Love people into a Maturing relationship with Jesus Christ) and my passion has been refined(Pastoring and Preaching). I look forward to this week sharing with my Pastor Anthony G. Maclin and brother Nathan Scovens, but most importantly, the greatest congregation in the universe, the TAB family. Will update later this week. PG
