Dear Church,
I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the wonderful people of Winkler’s Grove Baptist Church for your kindness, love, and generosity shown to me during Pastor Appreciation.
Your thoughtful gifts, kind words, cards, and expressions of love mean more to me than you will ever know. I am truly humbled and blessed to pastor a church family that would go out of its way to make me feel so appreciated.
Please know that I don't take your love and kindness for granted. It is a joy and privilege to serve the Lord alongside you. I love you, I appreciate you, and I thank God for allowing me to be your pastor.
Love y'all,
Pastor Paul Deal
