Dear Pastor Jeff,

Happy 50th Birthday!!!

I have had so much FUN attending SLFC for the past 5+ years now! More importantly, I know I've learned so much and grown so much spiritually. I would not be the person that I am today without you as my pastor and without SLFC as my church family. I am so thankful for you and your family. I am amazed as I watch each one of you move into new levels with God and help the rest of us to do the same. What a blessing you and your family are to me!

I want to thank you for continuing to press on for all these years! I want to thank you for your vision, your leadership and your ability to be an example of excellence while continuing to keep it real. I'm just so glad that I've had the opportunity to participate in what God is doing at SLFC. It's been an awesome adventure and I can't wait to see what's up ahead!

God Bless You, Pastor Jeff! I'll be praying for you! May your 50th year be your best year yet and may you look back on this time with some very very fond memories! Oh, by the way, thanks for all the side hugs, handshakes, words of encouragement, etc. Those things are powerful and they might even be more meaningful than you'll ever know.

See you in church! :)

love,
Andrea
