Greater Love Missionary Baptist Church Saultes Memorial Day 2023

Great er Love Missionary Baptist Church
"Remembering and Honoring"
2023




This Memorial is dedicated to Greater Love Missionary Baptist Church's finest...

those military veterans who devoted their lives to serving our country and community, and who faithfully contributed to the history and the legacy of our Church Family.

These have graduated to Glory, and God willing, we will see them again...

First, we humbly express thanksgiving
to God, our Father,
to Jesus, our Savior,
and to our Comforter, the Holy Spirit,
for gifting and preserving these sainted servants.

We thank you, Lord, for their service to YOU, Country and Greater Love.

We pay honor and homage to our Gift from God, our Pastor,
who is, among many things,

a stellar example of leadership, encouragement, generosity and love.

Dr. Lester J. Gillespie, Sr., you are the very image
of what a servant-hearted leader should be.
