Letter to the congregation from Rev. James R. Linderman,
President, Texas District Dear
Pastor Biar, Brothers and Sisters in Christ: I
regret that I cannot be present for the important occasion of the ground
breaking for your first structure on your property. However, I do want to wish you the Lord’s blessings as you
move forward in your ministry in the Bastrop community. This is indeed a significant date for you and for the people
of the Lutheran church. I
pray that God will continue to bless you as He has done in the past
through preaching of His Word and the ministering of His Sacraments.
We are indebted entirely to the power of His Holy Spirit who has
changed our lives so that we might share the good news of the Gospel
with those around us. As
you further equip saints in the Kingdom of God, this love will spread
throughout your area of influence.
If there’s any way that I can be of assistance to you, please
do not hesitate to let me know. Again,
congratulations and God’s blessings on this special event in the
history of your young church. |
