We want to give a huge birthday shoutout to our Pastor, Ron Smith! There isn't enough space in this post to share all the ways he shepherds this crazy flock of people. He is steadfast, encouraging, loving, motivates us to be more like Jesus, and challenges us in the best ways possible.
Pastor Ron, today we celebrate you and please know that we are thankful for you and your family everyday!
With love and birthday blessings,
Your Team and your Church Family
