On Sunday Fellowship Church in Holden celebrated my 10 years of being a pastor in their organization.  It was such a blast, and I felt so humbled to be able to work on a regular basis with people as wonderful as the people here in this church.  It’s been a crazy ten years, I have a lot more gray hair, but I love it today just as much and more as I loved it my first week here on May 30, 1999.

I began preaching on Sunday morning when Steve, our executive pastor interrupted me, and said that the team was hijacking the service and we had a new guest speaker, and as he said this, an SUV pulled up from the parking lot (it was an outdoor service) and in it was my dad, my sister, and her fiance rolling in.

For the next hour, people read letters and my dad preached and it was just an amazing service!  So I wanted to say thank you to the people of Fellowship Church over the last 10 years for being so incredible, for loving Carie and I, and for making it so wonderful and easy for me to love what I do.

Thank you for “making my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

Fellowship Church, at one time called Wachusett Valley Baptist Church and Wachusett Valley Christian Church has a colorful and interesting history.  Here is a pictorial video of this history.
