We are delighted and grateful to God for allowing us to serve Him through you, as your Pastors and Servant Leaders for over a period of nine years. As a Church, it is our hope that we would be large enough to accommodate all who come in for fellowship and we would love to be small enough to know each other by name and contact through friendship. Friendship for us is an effective stress reliever, b
eing able to relax and share one’s feeling with concerned friends hence is critical to a person mental and emotional health. Every person needs a Friend in light of the load he/she carries. So, this is why we trust that this booklet will serve as an instrument in solidifying Christian friendship and fellowship. Yours In His Service,
Clergy Team Brown Memorial
