Chappell Temple, Dan Conway, Michelle Hall, Mike Whang Christ Church Pastoral Staff With thanks to SugarLand.com for images of Sugar Land, Texas. 2 christchurchsl.org 3 Welcome from our Pastors There are many words and expressions in our culture that bid welcome. My offering to you would be “thank you for saying yes to God and Christ Church and know that It’s a greeting used by everyone these days, from Muslims who say, “As-salamu alaykum” (or you are so welcome. My hope for each person/family is that they would experience “peace be upon you”) to Hebrews who start each Friday with “Shabbat Shalom” (“peaceful the inestimable love of Jesus Christ and find your place among us. If I could sing, Sabbath”) to even those stuck in the Sixties who may tell you when leaving somewhere simply and those who know me would confirm that I can NOT, I would sing “Oh How I Love “Peace Out!” For in truth, there is nothing more satisfying to many than to enjoy peace in their Jesus”. Please know that your pastor, Michelle, is imperfect, but by the grace of God, I lives, one way or the other. continue to trust that if I live as faithfully as I can, He will continue to lead and guide me.
