Pastor Albright was an example of a man of God who never tired of doing good!! Not only was his smile contagious but his energy spurred on many to love and good deeds. During our adventures in Mexico (Andrea, Jane and me)- he shined in the way that he shared the essence of God’s love toward to the people.  The one memory that endears Pastor Albright to my heart forever was when he took me under his wing to help with door to door evangelism in the new neighborhood around the church.  What senior pastor invests their time and gifts into a teenager? – Teresa

2 Thessalonians 3: 6-13 ( NLT)

6 “And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers[c] who live idle lives and don’t follow the tradition they received[d] from us. 7 For you know that you ought to imitate us. We were not idle when we were with you. 8 We never accepted food from anyone without paying for it. We worked hard day and night so we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”

11 Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. 12 We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living. 13 As for the rest of you, dear brothers and sisters, never get tired of doing good.”
