TWO VISITS

This morning, Karen and I attended two church services. We went to church with our oldest daughter near Mt. Juliet, TN where they attend Harvest Fellowship. Ron Hamm is the Pastor. We surprised them. We had told Danita that we would come to visit them in church sometime and today we did just that. They have an early service (8:30 am) that we attended. We enjoyed the worship and being with Danita, our oldest daughter, and Shane, our son-in-law.

Later this morning, we attended the 51st Homecoming Celebration at East Nashville Church of God of Prophecy, where we pastored for over four years. It was good to see old friends and some new faces as well. Pastor George McDowell, Jr. welcomed one and all. Dr. McDowell is completing his 5th year at East Nashville. The Mathis Family Singers did a fantastic job of singing. Bishop H. Wayne Hall, former State Overseer of TN and Fields of the Wood Director, preached an inspirational message. It was good to be with Deacon Binkley Beasley and his wife, Sister Helen Beasley. She has served as clerk and treasurer for many years - over 30 I am sure. It was good to see many others. Sister Creasy, one of our church mothers, was there. She told me she will be 87 years young this coming October. There were many others too numerous to remember and, my memory would fail to name them all. The food and fellowship were great. We are thankful for the opportunity to visit where we have ministered and see the work of the ministry continuing. Praise the Lord!
