This Weekend...

Dear Brothers...

Thank you for another great Wednesday of nourishment for the masculine spirit, mind, and body.

Some of you have asked about the move from "temporary supply" to "installed pastor" here at FPC.  This will be recognized Saturday at Binnerri Presbyterian Church in Richardson,TX.  I invite you to attend but I understand, given the late nature of this note, that you might not be able to. Whether in attendance or not, I covet your prayers and thank you for your support!  Below please find a copy of the announcement I sent to the membership at FPC.

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau


Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:

Greetings!  At a stated meeting this weekend, Grace Presbytery will recognize our congregation's action to move the pastoral ministry from "temporary supply" to "installed pastor".  This is a joyous occasion for any congregation, but it is particularly special for us.  While our numbers may be small, our commitment to mission and ministry is strong.  Your faith and action, inspired by the Holy Spirit, have brought us to this day, and Grace Presbytery is going to recognize it.

I'd like to invite you to join me for the occasion.  I know this is a bit of a "late notice", but we wanted to be sure we were "on the agenda", as they say, for the meeting.  The meeting will be held this Friday and Saturday, February 28-March 1, at Binnerri Presbyterian Church in Richardson, Texas.    I'll be attending both days, but I want you to know that  the activity which involves FPC will be on Saturday -- beginning at 10:00 am.

Here is the address:

Binnerri Presbyterian Church
1301 Abrams Rd
Richardson, TX 75081-5525

Whether or not you can attend, I do want to thank you all for the prayers, good wishes, and words of encouragement and support you have extended to me throughout this process and, indeed, during the nearly three and half years I've been privileged to serve in your midst. 

Warm Regards in Christ,


Rev. Paul R. Dunklau
