Calling all retired Bible-believing Pastors.

We would like to have you submit your name and E-mail address to us, so we can list you here.  Then when a church in the greater Sarnia-Port Huron  area is looking for a ‘fill-in’ Pastor, they can contact you.

Please include a short bio.

 

The following information may be of interest to small evangelical churches.  Recently I assisted our church in obtaining a portable baptistry.  The company from which we obtained it has a website www.portablebaptistry.com   If your church is interested in obtaining a baptistry, I will be happy to pass along the benefit of our experience.  It turns out there are a number of companies in the US that deal in these baptistries.  Visit www.google.com and type in portable baptistries.

 

As well we have found a source in Warren MI that will order baptismal gowns and choir or pastoral robes from www.murphyrobes.com and sells these at the same price as the website, saving your church the shipping charge.  As long as you are buying for a church, there is no Michigan sales tax.  The name of the store is Discount Bible Books at 26756 Dequindre  586-574-0771

 

Any church in the greater Sarnia Port Huron area, that has gowns or robes they want to sell, may list them on this website.  For Bible-believing evangelical churches, there is no charge for this service.
