So you’ll know the flow...

As we have come to the close of another fiscal year (October 31st) and will come very soon to the close of this calendar year on December 31st, let’s rekindle our efforts and rejuvenate our energies to finish strong. The needs remain great at New Pilgrim: rising utility costs, our ongoing mortgage and our financial campaigns to Raise the Roof and for Kingdom Builder. Our earmarked/designated giving efforts have at times shifted funds away from our operational funding, and thereby have increased the need to remember our faithful commitment to bringing our Lord’s tithe (… the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32) and our freewill offerings. “Each person should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). I pray that the Lord’s faithfulness to blessing you will prompt you to honor his faithfulness, as you continue to cheerfully share with New Pilgrim.

Let’s finish strong by sharing in tithes and offerings to

support the work of the ministries at New Pilgrim. Doing so will help us meet our operational needs and to ably meet the monthly $19,650.00 mortgage. Consider giving more to New Pilgrim, even as we pledge to steward your gifts to do more with less. In doing this you will join us in ensuring that New Pilgrim will be stable, secure and striving: lifting as we climb. Join with us from this Sunday until this year shall give way to 2020 — join us in finishing strong!

In 2004, Pastor Nathan Johnson, the former Pastor of Antioch Bap-tist Church in Houston, Texas, accepted the call as Senior Pastor of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan. Pastor Nathan Johnson’s musical gift and passion for worship with music inspired him to reorganize the Music Ministry of the church. He has inspired the congregation to engage in higher levels of praise and Worship during the Sanctuary Celebration.

Pastor Johnson’s service in ministry exceeds twenty-nine years. He served as Christian Education Director at Cathedral Faith Baptist Church in Dallas, Pastor Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Cedar Lane, Texas from 1986-1988, and Pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church in Galveston from 1988-1991, and Antioch Baptist Church in Houston, Texas from 1991 until 2004. He is a man of excellence endowed with a vision and empowered to tell God’s Message. Pas-

tor Johnson challenges his members to be steadfast and serious about the work of the kingdom.

Pastor Johnson’s work and wisdom extend beyond the walls of the church. He is a Lecturer for the National Baptist Convention Congress of Christian Education, and a Facilitator and Instructor for the Christian Educa-tor’s Conference. Pastor Johnson serves as first-vice president of the Wolverine State Congress of Christian Education. He serves on the Mayoral Clergy Roundtable for Detroit, Michigan and as a member of the Moody Theological Seminary advisory board. He is also in demand and receives many requests to preach nation-wide at church revivals and to speak at numerous conferences and civic functions. Through the proclamation of the Word, Pastor Johnson helps others to examine their lives and to strive to live by God’s Word. He has brought new souls to Christ and has helped others to recommit their lives to God.

Serious and sincere, calm and compassionate, prayerful and persistent, tough and tender, unique and unify-ing, insightful and inspiring are all terms that may be used to describe Pastor Nathan Johnson. More than any-thing else, Pastor Johnson is a preacher of an uncompromising gospel. He gladly shares the “Good News,” that Christ is alive and the Lord and Savior of all.

Pastor Johnson’s leadership has pioneered several new ministries and strengthened existing ministries within the church. Soon after his arrival, Pastor Johnson formed the Commission on Ministries to study and examine key ministries of the church. The commission was charged to make recommendations to the Pastor for the purpose of under-girding, enhancing, restructuring, or creating a model of ministry on the “cutting edge” at Tabernacle. As a result of the Commission on Ministries, the Writers Ministry was birthed to under-gird our church growth through the development of a bible study curriculum and monthly study lessons for the Deacon groups. This concept also has the purpose of actualizing our church mission through print media.

Pastor Nathan Johnson’s journey forward heralds and proclaims the uncompromising Word of God and teach-es the truth of the gospel through deep study and meditation. His ministry is further exemplified in the work of “Claiming our Jerusalem”, an Evangelistic outreach, spearheaded by Rev. Miller Adams. It fulfills the great commission by saving souls and making disciples. (Matthew 28: 18-20) His goal is to consolidate the gifts of the skilled professions and layman in the congregation in order to administer services to the church, surround-ing community and City of Detroit.
