Honoring Pastor Tom

Vision Night

Sunday night at Stadium High School they honored Tom’s 25 years of Ministry. It was a great night of different people sharing and encouragement.

Pastor Burt share about the yoke. How the yoke for the oxen was carefully made with each ox in mind. It was made so it wouldn’t hurt the animal. Jesus never meant for us to be burdened under the yoke. But because of words spoken to us – you can’t …., you should …, you did it wrong, your time of ministry is done, or maybe you shouldn’t be in ministry…. – the yoke has become a stock. He spoke words of encouragement to us and had us break those stocks and put back on the yoke. Thank you Jesus!!!

Tom and I went up front

And Pastor Burt thanked me too saying I have been working right along side Tom. They gave him a framed plaque, roses and a beautiful Waterford© Crystal Clock.

Tom and I went down and people gathered around to pray over us.
Afterward we went out to eat with my sister Sue, nieces Amy & Natalie, youth leaders; Josh, Nichole, Jasmyn and her sister join us.

What a wonderful evening. Love ya all.
