The Bereaved Family

It was nice to be able to support our Brother in the loss of his father in New York. The question for Mount Calvary and perhaps would be the question for Mount Olivet is: When does Pastor go out of the city with members and how does he determine who he goes with and who he does not go with? Does he go with his favorites and leave his other sheep, members to tend for themselves.? Are we all equal in Pastor's eyes, or he has his pics, and if you're one; good, and if not, then you're not! No! My desire is to serve EVERY member of MY Church in whatever Spiritual Capacity is needed! Everyone doesn't need the same attention, the same nurture, and Pastor in the same capacity! Some are stronger than others, some are more private and wont let you know about certain situations in their life until its over... Some are prideful and wont let you know that Pastoral Care is needed. Some are open and will say or allow it to be known that Pastor is needed here or there. My folks have always known....that I am and will be there for the least to the greatest...whomever they may be and whatever status they choose to identify with or be identified with is no issue with me. I have flown and driven everywhere for funerals of loved ones of the members of My Church, but never done the Train.. I was happy to serve in the capacity of "Comforting Words" with the Fitzgerald family and more happy to hear the beautiful letter of concern that was sent by the Mount Olivet Baptist Church family and read in the service. Mount Olivet's letter was the only letter read during the service! Amen Holy Ghost! James Fitzgerald, pictured on the far left, lost his father, his wife, Catherine, mother-in-law, Ms Lottie, sister-in-law Linda and friend Robert, attended the service too. Over 200 people attended the service; I'm not sure why it was at the funeral home and not the church.. but I dont have to know everything!
