AWESOME SUNDAY SERVICES

Sunday morning worship was blessed and anointed by the powerful presence of the Holy Ghost. People were worshipping spontaneously as wave and wave of the presence of God touched hearts and lives. The singing, the testimonies, and the word of God went forth with great liberty and power. The message, number two in a series, on Walking In the Spirit - Pressing Into the Kingdom, gave us greater desire to have the fruit of the Spirit operating and becoming more and more a part of our daily lives. We were very thankful to see faces that recently have become a regular part of our services. Virginia and Jimmy Davis and Jimmy's mother Willodene Davis continue to worship with us and it is a joy to see them giving God praises as they join in the celebration of praise to the King of Kings. We are thankful for Lisa Benjamin and Mike Gillison who have now been with us for the past three weeks. Several were in the altar as the Holy Spirit ministered and blessed. People were coming forward asking for prayer for physical, mental, emotional, financial, and family needs. There was a sense of urgency in the atmosphere to pray for the lost and to seek God for a greater move of revival and evangelism among our families and in the community.

As the worship continued and the children came back in from their worship time, Karen informed me that Zach Dodson, son of Chad and Kim Byars, ask Jesus to be His savior. He told his mom and said, "Don't I need to be baptized too?" YES, there will be a baptismal service and we are praying for others who will come in the water after they have accepted Jesus as their Savior. We are also praying for a time to emphasize church membership.

Last night was Care Group emphasis. Several were present who have not been in our Sunday evening services. After a time of worship in singing and giving, each group met and shared together as the Care leaders emphasized their desires to minister to each one. Testimonies were given, needs were expressed, requests were made and prayers went up to the throne of Grace. Plans were made to begin meeting in homes as the leaders discussed times and days to schedule services.

After care groups, Karen, Sister Carolyn Spain and myself went to visit with Sister Bonnie (Curtis) Crossno. We had a good season of prayer. She continues to request prayer. Her breathing is better but she continues to need our prayers. Also Sister Jennie Sanders continues to need prayer. Her legs continue to retain fluid.

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY WITH THE PRESENCE OF GOD MANIFESTING AND BLESSING. O THANK THE LORD!
