THANK GOD FOR AN AWESOME DAY

WEST TN STATE YOUTH DIRECTOR VISIT: This morning we were blessed by the boost from West TN State Youth Director, Gigi Cummings. She encouraged us and excited us about the work of the youth - Youth Camp, Teen Talent and an upcoming outreach sponsored by the Youth Department here at Huntingdon. We look forward to working with Sister Gigi and the outreach here.

COVENANT SUNDAY: Today the members of the church here renewed their covenant and, Praise God, there were four new ones who took the covenant for the first time. The new ones were, Dr. Chuck Burks and wife Ragene Burks, Delilah Mummel and Peggy Heath. Sister Delilah has attended here since she was a just a baby and is now 28 years old and just took the covenant for the first time. Sister Peggy has been attending for over 18 years and is in her eighties and took the covenant for the first time today. She testified that she felt "this has been my church for the past 18 plus years but I never expected to really make a public commitment but today I felt the need to do that." We thank God for these who have come into the local body here. Dr. Burks is in the process of becoming licensed in the COGOP and he is using his gifts in music, teaching and preaching in the local church here. He is seeking God for his future in ministry and believes God has called him to Pastor. We are praying that God will open the door for him. He has committed to minister here until God moves him otherwise. Brother Leon Reynolds testified that it was very special for him to renew the covenant today. We thank God for all He is and all He is doing here.

PENTECOSTAL POWER MEETING: We were blessed tonight to be at the Paris church and to be involved in a great time of worship and to hear State Overseer, Dr. E. C. McKinley preach. We thank God for the presence of the Lord that we felt so strongly and the message. There were ten who went from Huntingdon and we enjoyed the fellowship of the churches in our district. Bishop Clayton Mahan moderated and led the service in a great time of worship.
