Your Denman Avenue Baptist Church family is proud of you. We pray God’s best for you. We also pray that you will not only continue to fol-low the Lord Jesus Christ, but also that you will follow Him more close-ly than ever before.

The Bible says in Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Fa-ther through Him.” Then, verse 23 of Colossians 3 says, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.”

God bless you always. His Love,

Pastor Gil
