Dear Fellow Servant,

Are you still rejoicing like me from the N3 Conference? What a mighty and amazing move of God. I am so thankful that I know He is able whether He chooses to bless or not. Thank you BLVD for showing up and supporting the conference and thank God for showing out! I’ve been seeing your comments on our Facebook Fan Page. Continue to let us know how you enjoyed the conference. Next week, we will have an official survey so watch for it and please complete it. You may also purchase the N3 Conference CD/DVD set starting Sunday.

This Sunday (September 5) we begin our Baggage Check Sermon Series at both locations. Bishop McKissick’s message about leaving your baggage at the altar was right on time. Come out either to THE BLVD East at 8:30AM or THE BLVD Midtown at 10:00AM and bring a friend or two with you. Don’t let the Labor Day holiday weekend stop you from coming to worship. However, if you are unable to attend in person you can always watch the Live Streaming at 10:00AM on the website: www.theblvd.org

In closing I am sending a special Happy Birthday/Anniversary wish to THE BLVD East. The month of September marks our first year as “one church in two locations”. We are thankful to God for His blessings in overflow. I am also thankful to all of you who have given tirelessly to help us make it to this month of celebration. I am encouraging all members of THE BLVD East to show up weekly especially this month because beyond the dynamic praise and worship, we have lots of activities planned just for you.

As a reminder the church offices will be closed on Monday, September 6. Business resumes Tuesday September 7.

God bless you.  I love you and I will see Sunday!

 
DR. FRANK A. THOMAS Senior Servant
