Sunday morning Johnny our pre high pastor shared he was called to another Church.
It was with tears and joy that he shared. And I gotta tell you it was hard for me too.
The influence and lives you've changed Johnny -you will never know.
And a little song from my childhood popped into my mind...
Heavenly Sunshine, Heavenly Sunshine
Flooding my soul with glory divine
Heavenly Sunshine, Heavenly Sunshine
Hallelujah! Jesus is mine.
Johnny that's you, full of sunshine and blessed by God's assurance that Jesus is yours.
That's what you taught, that's what you lived.
And I thought back to Church influences in my life
People that left the warmth of heavens glow in my life
And I thought of my Sunday school teacher Martha Guze-she loved on us gals, and she taught me life was not just about rules
And I though of Pastor John Dyck who made the Bible come alive in my life and who lead me to the Lord
And I thought of Pastor Ken Dyck who awakened in me a desire for helping others in need
And who can ever forget Pastor Kevin Snyder? My Children's beloved youth pastor. Our house fell in love with you the day we met. And your footprints in our lives will never leave us.
And then it was Pastor Matthew Price. We fell in love with you and your passion for youth. And your joy for the Lord. I'd say our kids had the best of all youth pastors. You and Kevin remind me of my most critical growing up years- and the youth Pastor I had, Mr Baerg. Amazing .
And then Pastor Matthew you became our pastor to the congregation of NLCC. And the blessing that happens every Sunday morning blows my sock's off.
And Pastor Johnny you were part of this Church family and you rocked being pre high Pastor and you will so be missed.
And Pastor Johnny you were the perfect fit in our Church and in our lives.
And we are so happy you said yes to God in your life.
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You
May The Lord Make His Face To Shine Upon You
And Be Gracious To You
May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon You
And Give You Peace.
And may we continue to be heavenly sunshine to those around us. Thanks for the reminder Pastor Johnny.
Heavenly Sunshine, Heavenly Sunshine
Flooding My Soul With Glory Divine
Heavenly Sunshine, Heavenly Sunshine
Hallelujah! Jesus Is Mine. Charles E. Fuller
