Pastor's Weekly Message - 6/12/11

Today is the Day that we reach out in Love and touch hearts for the Lord. VBS begins today. You can look around and see that a lot of hard work has been put into this year’s VBS. Ladies thank you for all the time that you put into the decorations. Many hours have been given this year.  If the preparation is the key to VBS then we will be writing next week about what a great and rewarding week it was. Each day someone was working on VBS. It takes planning and preparation to have a successful VBS. What I like about the effort is that everyone is involved. It takes a team to fulfill all that needs to be done. Team is “Together Everyone Accomplish More”. Team work wins. Churches need more team work. Look at any growing Church and you will see Team Work is in the forefront.

I’m back! Did you miss me? Some are answering, didn’t know that you were gone. Well, I did take some R & R and I had a great time. Everybody needs some time off without the phone ringing every minute and the demands of life that call for your time and attention. Yes, Pastors need time off too. Thank for the time off. Thanks to preacher Grady who always comes through for us here at the Church. If he is in town he is always willing to come and fill in for us.

It just keeps on getting better and better! The testimonies are wonderful and powerful. Thanks to all of you who have shared from your heart. Brother Sammy did a great job last Sunday sharing about his salvation and his Saviour. He is Franklin County Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and is also our senior adult Sunday school teacher. It was powerful and uplifting. I enjoyed it. The early service was well attended and the Spirit of the Lord was moving.  These testimonies have been the encouragement that my heart needs. Today we have one of our ladies sharing her testimony, Jennifer Cox. Jennifer is co-teacher of the youth along with her husband, Anthony. She is the mother of T.J and Riley.  I know your heart will be blessed with her love for the Lord and her willingness to praise her Lord and Saviour. We are so blessed to have this family as part of our church family. Their labor of love can be seen in so many things they are involved in.

What a great Mother’s Day service we had. Connie Harris’ testimonial about their son Joshua was wonderful in the fact of how God had blessed them with two wonderful sons. Her praise of the Lord and her worshipful attitude was encouraging. To hear her love and joy showed us what it was to be a mother. The greatest word other than our Lord’s name is mother. No sweeter word than that. My mother is special and as I listened to Connie it reminded me of the Love that my Mother has for me. I was rejoicing and thanking the Lord for my mom. I was able to go up and spend the day with my Mother on Tuesday. We went out to eat at one of her favorite spots and rode around through the area to see the storm damage.   There are areas where they are still working on removing debris and some of the traffic lights are still out.

Happy Mother’s Day

May 8, 2011

We want to wish all of our Mothers a happy Mother’s Day. We will have something for all our Mothers to take home with them today: A rose, which speaks of love and there is nothing like a Mother’s love.  I will be calling my Mother and wishing her a happy Mother’s Day and telling her that I love her. By the time we are gathered here and reading this article, I have already called my Mother. I wish that I could be with her today, but that just didn’t work out. My Mother is my Hero in life. I owe so much to my mom.

What a wonderful Easter Sunday! I enjoyed this Easter more than I have any other Easter in the past. It was spiritual, powerful and just beautiful. The sunrise service was great.  I would like to thank all those who helped set up everything (chairs, sound equipment and the keyboard). What a great crowd that we had too. There were several visitors who attended along with some people that we haven’t seen in a long time.  There is something about getting up early on Easter to worship knowing that He is Alive.
