A Visit That Uplifted and Inspired

Last week, our office was blessed with a meaningful visit from Rev. Dr. Sharon  Austin, our District Superintendent. Though brief, her time with us left a lasting impact, filling the office with warmth, encouragement, and a deep sense of spiritual reassurance.

Rev. Dr. Austin’s words carried a clarity and conviction that seemed to gently quiet every storm—we are okay, and we are going to make it. In just a few moments, she reminded us of the strength we have together and of the faith that continues to carry us forward.

Before departing, Rev. Dr. Austin graciously lifted our staff, our congregation, and our entire church community in prayer. Her heartfelt invocation felt like a balm, covering us in grace and renewing our collective spirit. 

We are grateful for her leadership, her presence, and the reminder that even a short visit, when guided by compassion and the Spirit, can leave a profound imprint.
