This week, Pastor Paul has been visited by an old friend with whom he was a classmate in Seminary. Rev. Walter Dinkins retired in 2012 after 30 years as a chaplain in the military. He served in 5 combat deployments in the Middle East and Africa. His last assignment was Seal Team Two in Afghanistan. He lives in Wilmington NC with his wife if 22 years and their three children. He is active in the Wounded Warrior project.
Walter is an avid marsh hunter and fisherman in the Cape Fear delta of NC. He was featured in an article in Field & Stream in Oct/Nov 2018. You can find this article at

With his many years of service in the military, it is very fitting that, on this Memorial Day Sunday, Pastor Paul has asked Rev. Dinkins to preach during our worship service. We welcome him to our Church and look forward to his Memorial Day message.
