Pastor Gary's last day!

Pastor Gary was our intern here for the past 6 months. He goes to Bethany Bible college and will be finishing up his semester. Today was his last day with us at Faith Chapel. It has been such a blessing having him here to help Ed with the Youth & kids ministry.

A bunch of us went out to Frank's pizzeria after church with Pastor Gary. Frank's has the best Italian fast food in NJ!

Ed & Pastor Gary...

Gary thanking the congregation for a great 6 months. We will miss you Pastor Gary!!
