As we celebrate ALL Fathers and Father Figures on this special Father's Day, we would like to take a moment to honor and express our heartfelt appreciation for our pastor, Dr. Roderick S. Hawthorne.
Not only is he a great and caring leader, but he is also a wonderful example of what it means to be a godly father, mentor, and shepherd. Through his wisdom, compassion, integrity, and unwavering faith, he has touched countless lives and has been a source of strength, encouragement, and inspiration to so many.
Dr. Hawthorne leads with a servant's heart, always demonstrating genuine love and concern for God's people. His dedication to the work of the Lord, his commitment to his family, and his passion for helping others grow spiritually are qualities that deserve to be celebrated and admired.
On this Father's Day, we honor you not only for the role you play within your family but also for the fatherly guidance, support, and spiritual covering you provide to your church family. Your prayers, sacrifices, leadership, and love have made an immeasurable impact on our lives.
Thank you, Dr. Hawthorne, for faithfully answering God's call and for being such a powerful example of faith, strength, and compassion. We love you, appreciate you, and thank God for the blessing you are to our church, community, and all who have the privilege of knowing you.
Happy Father's Day, Dr. Hawthorne! May God continue to bless you abundantly with health, strength, joy, favor, and many more years of impactful ministry.
