On Sunday, April 10, our church family at Peace Missionary Baptist Church came together to worship and celebrate Rev. D. Gregory Ceres’ 5th pastoral anniversary.
We are grateful for, and inspired by our Senior Pastor’s leadership, wisdom and unwavering faith. In honor of our his fifth year, check out these five bible verses about the power of gratitude.
