Wednesday Night Family Surprise

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday afternoon, Mom and I decided to head to Hillsboro, OH. We wanted to attend church with our Morgan family. 

We were able to surprise most of them. It was fun to roll in right before church time, unexpectedly. 

The service was good. It was great to worship with our family. God has been blessing and helping their church. We are proud of the work they are doing for God in their community. 

We immensely enjoyed the short visit with our family! They are awesome people. I am already looking forward to seeing them again soon. 

Here are a few pictures I snapped last night. These include some family and friends. See you tomorrow. Thank you for reading.

DRPC Pastor Appreciation 2026 Pics

 Hey Friends, 

Yesterday was Pastor Appreciation Day at DRPC. We love our pastors! If you missed my Sunday post, check it out here. They are a gift from God to our church. 

The Sunday morning service was dedicated to honoring them. We heard from different members of the church. Some spoke, others sang songs and Bro. Kevin Lloyd preached a great message. 

We were thrilled that Sis. Jane was able to be in the service today. Her health does not allow her to be there for many of the services, but we still love and appreciate our Pastor’s wife dearly!

Thank you for joining us. I will close with pictures I took Saturday night and Sunday.

Thankful For Our Pastor

 Hey Friends,

Today is a special Sunday at our church, DRPC. We set aside this day to honor and show our appreciation for our Pastor and his wife. 

Bro Bennie and Sis. Jane Sutherland moved to Ohio from Indiana 48 years ago. They made the move in obedience to God and became the pastors of DRPC. 

The church was then small in number and had its struggles. They poured their life, blood, sweat and tears into the church. DRPC was their whole life. Their children grew up in the church, and now their great-grandchildren are growing up there as well. 

God has rewarded their dedication and labor. Drpc has been a flourishing church for decades. Countless lives have been changed because of the ministry of Bro. Bennie and Sis. Jane!

We love and appreciate them more than words can express. I know BFM would not exist today without our Pastor. His guidance and counsel changed my parents' lives. Which, in turn, changed the trajectory of my life’s course!

Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with a Pastor who cares for his congregation. Even at 83, he boldly declares God’s word to us. He prays for us, and he is concerned for his. people. We are a blessed congregation!

Here is a picture from December 2025. Please keep Bro. Bennie and Sis. Jane, in your prayers!

Revival In Progress Friday Night

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for checking in today. We are still in revival this weekend at DRPC. Last night was the second night of the Pastor Appreciation revival.  

We enjoyed the Lord's presence in the service. It was a great blessing to have several visitors. We enjoyed seeing some great friends. 

Pastor Kevin Lloyd from Bond, Kentucky, is now our revival speaker. We love the Lloyds at DRPC! They are home folks around here. 

Bro. Kevin preached a masterpiece last night. I will be feasting on the message for a while. Several received much-needed encouragement. 

Here are some pictures from Friday night.  I am excited to see what tonight's service has in store for us! See you next time.
