What a wonderful week of Revival here
at the Church. My heart was overwhelmed with the power of the Lord. First let
me state what a joy it was to be with Bro. Duane this week looking back over
the years when he and his family were here and remembering all the things that
we did together, and we did a lot of things.
He was a joy to work with because we had a bond and a relationship of
trust. I have been blessed to work with some wonderful people in my ministry
over the years, but this one exceeded them all. “What if we …” came up so many
times during our ministry together, or “I was thinking about trying this today,
what do you think?” Having someone around who is thinking of ways to serve the
Lord or trying something different was a help and also rewarding. I think we are too much like the
ones Jesus rebuked in the New Testament who always had their ways of doing
things which wasn’t working but they kept on doing them thinking one day it
would work. Let’s look around at our Church and see what needs to be done
differently or what is not working effectively. Just “doing things” because we
have always done them that way is not always the answer in ministry. We will soon start a New Year and what a
great time now to look at what we are doing and to make changes that are not
working. The Nominating Committee will be meeting soon to look at the New Year
programs and positions. What would you like for us to do
as a Church? Or, what would you like to do as a Christian? It is something to
think about and pray about.
Wade Buice is being baptized today and
he is excited as am I. Anytime someone
makes a statement that they are following the Lord in believer’s baptism is
powerful and a blessing. Every believer needs to be baptized. It is important
to share your faith this way and just as important to share in the Lord’s
Supper.
We need to elect three deacons for this
upcoming year so pray about this. There is a sheet to sign up if you are
willing to serve. See one of the deacons
about this if you have any questions. We
are working on our Homecoming Service, so kept this in your prayers also.
