A Note from Your Pastor
A Note Ahead of Sunday, October 16, 2022
Dear Second Family,
Greetings from the road! I’m grateful for the grace that allows me to accompany my daughter SaSa as she visits colleges. I wanted to say how I will miss being with you Sunday for so many reasons, especially as two of the institutions that Second Church has partnered with for decades will be present.
Rev. Dr. Marion Platt will preach. He is the CEO of Star Gospel Mission, which we have supported since its founding in 1904. He is bringing an energy and heart that is transformative for this vibrant ministry.
Dr. Douglas Lungu will be here from the Medical Benevolence Foundation, presenting in Sunday school, giving a Minute for Mission during the church service, and staying for lunch after church. He is the medical director from Malawi leading MBF into its next phase as they work to strengthen local leaders who oversee mission hospitals, clinics and nursing schools. We have partnered with them for nearly 60 years.
These two institutions put flesh on Jesus’ mandate to care for those in need. It is our joy to join with them in the good work of the Realm. It will be an inspiring Sunday!
With great joy in being your pastor,
