Pastor's Weekly Message - 4/10/11

The Lord showed up Wednesday night! What a wonderful service we experienced. This was one of the services that you knew you were in the presence of the Lord. We don’t have them all the time, but Praise the Lord he does reveal Himself from time to time with us. I know that it was spring break for our kids and the attendance was not the best we have had, but God was there.  Andrew’s testimony was powerful in what the Lord has done for him. You talk about one that went along with the message, his did. We were sharing a message out of Genesis 28: 10-22 where Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, had a dream where he saw Heaven and the Lord. It was the first time that Jacob realized the Lord was there. He had seen the Lord. “He dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” “And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place;” well the Lord was there Wednesday.

We need your help.  Help for what you may ask?  The time has come for us to have a new Church directory.  It has been a while since we had one made.  People have joined and people have died or moved.  Now what we need from you: First is an updated address.  If you changed your address in the last five years we need the new one.  Many who live in Toccoa have had address changes – the new 911 address is what we need.  The second thing is new phone numbers.  Many of you have done away with your landline and have cell phones only.  We need your cell phone number.  Third, we need all of you to have your picture taken so we can put a name with a face.  Thanks the Lord that we have new families that have joined and are attending since the old directory was published.  Now, who does this involve?  All of our kids that attend on Wednesday night, and all the old and new members and their families.  Yes, we want you to be part of this new directory even if you just attend once in a while.  We have so many in our church who just do not know who people are, so this new directory will help.
