President’s Pen God is Worthy of our Praise Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Ps 96:1–6). (2016). Crossway Bibles.
God is worthy of our praise!!! Each Sunday, we have the privilege of gathering with our church families to worship the Lord. Once a year, we have the privilege of gathering with our SCBO family for our Annual Celebration and Pastor’s Conference. I know we’re all incredibly busy, and it can be difficult to make the trip to our Annual Meeting…but I’d love for you to come! I would love to sing to the Lord with you. I would love to pray with you and hear from his word with you. I would love to be encouraged and edified to better serve the church with you. To be honest, I love all that stuff way more than the reports and the voting…but the reports and the voting help us to partner together to declare God’s glory among the nations! And I do love that!!! “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!” This year, the Annual Celebration is in my hometown, hosted by the church that I helped to plant 12 years ago. I love my hometown and I love my church, and - to be honest - I’m genuinely excited to welcome you to my community. So, I hope you’ll come…to worship, to pray, to study, to grow, to learn, to vote, to encourage, and to be encouraged. “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised!” As always, I want to remind you: there are amazing resources in our state to help church leaders faithfully proclaim Christ in their communities. You can always reach me at president@scbo.org. Grace and Peace, Adam Pursel SCBO President
