Ordination Sunday

It is 2:30pm on March 25th after the installation and ordination service at GRPC. I am a little more than wiped. I just wanted to take a few moments and just thank the congregation of GRPC for participating in the service, for calling me, and for supporting me and my family through all of this. What an outpouring of worship we had this morning as the Lord Jesus Christ was lifted high.

I want to thank all of the men and women who planned the service and refreshments and countless details. Of course I will be sure to thank you in person, but while things are still fresh in my mind I wanted to share with you my gratitude.

God has truly been faithful throughout this entire journey. He has continued to refine me in the fire as all of my imperfections and sin are constantly at war with the Spirit. He has changed me in many ways and continues to work out His will in my life. We are in this together. We are in the battle together and I couldn't be any more joyful than to be fighting the good fight, side by side with my brothers and sisters of GRPC.

Thanks again for encouraging me on and spurring my family on toward love and good deeds. I pray we will do it all the more as we see the great Day of the Lord approaching.

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Dan Betters
