A message from our new Church Council President - Courtney Allen - October 2023
From the desk of the Council President!
To God be the Glory for all he has done!
My fellow members of Saint John’s Lutheran Church Pimilco. I am humbled to serve
as your President during the pass months I have tried to be a beacon of light for our
church there has been a lot of structural changes going on within our church through
a lot of prayers we are witnessing the favor of God in all his majesty.
Since we are a small congregation that has not stopped us from doing the work God
has called us to do within the community. We are still praying for a financial
blessing that I know God will see us through.
Although the labor is hard and the workers are few we will continue to strive for the
greater good.
I will continue to be transparent in all that I do with the help of God.
I pray that you will continue to pray for me and my family and I will continue to
pray for you
As the season changes let us be mindful that God has it all worked out let us
continue to show who God is.
