Welcome to Deer Park First Baptist Church

On August 9th Justin Holifield will begin a new chapter in his life. I hope you have had the privilege to watch Justin in action at least once over the past 15 months. His passion for Christ, for God’s Word and for Students has been a source of blessing.

On Sunday morning, August 8th at 9:30 am, the Student Ministry will be celebrating Justin’s ministry at a breakfast in his honor in the Gymnasium. There will be a going away basket for anyone to drop Justin a card or note of appreciation for his ministry among us ($$$ or gift cards are OK if you insist J).  Whether you are connected to the student ministry or not, feel  free to stop by and drop a card in the basket while Justin and the students are enjoying their breakfast

together.

I know all this talk about breakfast is making you hungry—you are in luck! On Justin’s last Sunday with us he will also be preaching in both worship services. I promise if you come expecting to be fed—Justin will accommodate you as he teaches from God’s Word.

There is no doubt in my mind that I for one am going to miss Justin. I have to be honest, it is difficult when God brings great people into your life and then leads them in a new direction that does not directly involve you. At times like this I simply trust God and know his plan not only includes what is best for Justin but in the long run what is best for us as well.

Continuing to Expect Great Things!
