Summary: This week's message from Superintendent Terry Raburn was such an inspiring tribute to Pastor Darrell Strickland and First Lady Marsha, celebrating their decades of service. Using John 10 as a guiding passage, Superintendent Raburn spoke about the qualities of a good shepherd. He reminded us that Jesus is our ultimate example of being caring, protective, and self-sacrificing. Pastor Strickland embodies these traits in his steadfast dedication to God and the community. As we transition into new leadership with Pastor Van Kempen, the challenge is to continue this legacy of care, leadership, and communication. It's about reaching out to those moving into our growing community and sharing God's love and message just as Pastor Strickland has done for so long. Let's embrace this opportunity to be beacons of faith and spirit in Central Florida. Let's spread the goodness of Jesus with every interaction. Amen.
