Letter from Pastor

Hello St. Luke,

I bring you Greetings in the Mighty Magnificient Name of the Lord.

We had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday the whole month was great. i would like to thank you for a few things you have done to make me proudly say that I am the Pastor of St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church.

First, for the wonderful job you done on the 19th of April for our associate minister Rev. Earl W. Drake Jr. at his ordination. It was truly a great service and it wouldn't have been possible without you.
Second, for coming out to a 8:00 PM service like it was 4:00 PM. I love the way you are showing up for our evening programs, you are definetely keeping up your part of the deal.
Third, the surprise i got last Sunday Morning when I got to church. Words can't express the way I felt when the blindfold came off. I love the way you support your Pastor and associate ministers.
Fourth, Thanks for all your condolances during the passing of Sis. Shalonda Drake, I'm sure I speak for the Lovelace family also. Thanks for showing up, It means a lot just to see your faces.
Fifth, tithes and offerings are getting better, let's keep up the good work and step out on faith a little more so we can acheive our vision. Remember "Vision to Victory". (Proverbs 29:18) Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Keep up the good work St. Luke, Just keep the faith, And never cease to pray; just walk upright, Call Him noon, day, or night. He'll be there. There's no need to worry, For God never fails!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Robert C. Drake Sr.

Welcome letter for 2009 Leadership Conference & Spring Revival

Greetings in the name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

To our conference and revival attendes, as the pastor of St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church, I would like to welcome you to our "2009 Leadership Conference and Spring Revival". We believe we have brought you some of the very best lecturers and preachers in the city of Louisville (and in the nation) to teach and preach on how Effective Leadership enhances the overall "Christian Experience" for our churches.

I have attended various conferences all over the country and I do believe we have put together a very nice agenda for this conference and we are able to do it without charging. (II Timothy 2:15) states: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". I truly believe that if we keep seeking to rightly divide the "WORD" we will be more effective in seeking and saving those which are lost.

I believe the Lord is annointing this conference and we(the Lord and us) are going to build off of this conference and make it even better next year. So again I welcome you to St. Luke, we want you to Listen, Learn and Trust in the Lord with all your hearts and Lean not to your own understanding and In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct our paths. So let's do like David said in (Psalm 34:3) "O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together."

Yours in Christ,

Rev. Robert C. Drake Sr.

P.S. - To St. Luke(You know I love all of you) and all the Preachers and Teachers and Attendes who have made this happen, I would like to give you a very Hearty THANK YOU, for without every last one of you this wouldn't be possible. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

Rev. Robert C. Drake Sr.
