This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!
As pastor of the Huntingdon Church of God of Prophecy, I would like to thank the congregation for all the hard work they have been doing. We are a church that loves God, each other and the many friends and families that make up Carroll County. This coming month in October we are looking forward to some great spiritual, social and community events. Along with our regular services we are praying, planning and seeking God for the following. . . .
October 8, from 4-7 pm will be the FISHERS OF MEN FISH FRY. Proceeds will go to the development of our new church property. There will be fish, white beans, cole slaw, hushpuppies, dessert and drink. The cost is $7.00 per adult and $4.00 under age 10.
October 15, from 5 pm until will be a community "BLOCK PARTY" or Community Fellowship. Our church will be visiting the homes in the church area to give announcements for this time of friendly fellowship. The church will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, (each one will voluntarily bring other dishes), and all the trimmings. We plan a bonfire with marshmallows. This will be a time to get acquainted with our neighbors to let them know we are here and we want to be friends. This will be held on the grounds of the church or in the basement of there is inclement weather.
October 23, from 10:30 until will be HOMECOMING. All former members, family and friends and present members are invited to this time of fellowship and spiritual feast. Guest Speaker will be Tennessee Church of God of Prophecy State Overseer, Dr. E. C. McKinley of Hendersonville, TN. Guest Singers will be By Faith of Manchester, TN. There will be worship in preaching, singing, and testimonies. There will also be a meal as the members and friends bring their favorite dishes.
We want to thank God for the new visitors that have recently come to the church. Several new children and adults have been attending over the past several weeks. For this we give the Lord praise.
Sister Gordon and I also thank God for the contacts we made at the neighborhood Laundromat last night. We went there on a servant evangelism project to give quarters to the ones who came in as an act of God's kindness and love. We met four different families. One couple approached us and ask where we live and what church we attend. We introduced ourselves to them and also shared our testimony of God's saving grace in our lives. The couple has recently moved in the area and are building a new house out in a very rural area, close to some of our members. The man, Marshall Walker, also told us he is building some cabins on his property in the future for people to come and seek for "inner healing." He asked if he could come visit and speak to us further sometime. We gave him our church card and told him we would be happy to have them come visit us.
We are thankful for all that God is doing in our part of the world. To Him Be Glory!
