Legacy

10. When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11. houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12. be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

~Deuteronomy 6:10-12

Colvard’s Corner April 2013

“To God be the glory great things He has done!” Please allow me this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for what our gracious God has done in our church through so many of you. Holy Week and especially Easter Sunday 2013 will certainly be considered a wonderful blessing and a true celebration in the life of SOCPC and of what the church is all about.

I would like to express my thanks to you all, and give God glory for His goodness, His love, and His grace. I will attempt to express my appreciation, recognizing that I will not be able to list all who have contributed to what I consider to be one of  the most meaningful and joyful Easter seasons I have ever had the privilege to  witness since I have been your pastor here at SOCPC.
