Bob...

you will be in my/our prayers.
I know that tho serving the Lord is exciting..it is also very "scary" (isn't
the right word)..
This is something very important.. and I know that it's really nervewracking
to start something like this.
But what a blessing that this ministry is starting!! How awesome and
wonderful that you are going to be a part of something like this..
something that may bring your fellowship into a whole new world of worship
and praise.
Sometimes the spirit can fill you at these times and when that happens watch
out..
you may not get the pastor to the sermon :)
May God be with you and bless your ministry because if it'sfor HIM it's
wonderful!
