This past weekend was a great time at New Life Church Pflugerville. We had 32 in service with Pastor and Sis. Elms of Wichita Falls, TX as our special guests. We enjoyed the Word and the special singing. I insisted that they sing together! I said, "I am the Pastor here!" The church really had a good time of encouragement. The Spirit of the Lord was so sweet and the Word was full of strength.
We are thankful to those who have sent money to help buy our pew chairs - it is quite humbling to realize people want to help you. Bro. Elms announced that he would take up an offering at Life Tabernacle to purchase the remaining chairs we need. Our church responded with clapping and rejoicing! The chairs are on order and should arrive soon.The Elms are still here and Karla's other sister, Ronda, arrived yesterday from Hollister, CA. We are enjoying the family time together!
I have been working on the new storefront much of the time and that is the reason for fewer posts here. Mom and Dad came in on Wednesday of last week as Karla was headed out to Lufkin to teach at the Higher Ground Music Conference. Dad and I worked from early morning to 11pm at night Thursday and Friday. They left Saturday morning before our Outreach and Karla returned in the afternoon.
This Monday morning, Bro. Terry Stephens and I installed insulation in the Sanctuary Ceiling and today, we sprayed the ceiling with black paint. I came out of the process totally black! It was quite a sight. The air conditioning is installed (several days of labor was donated) and the electrical is completed. We will be painting walls in the next few days and the carpet comes in next week. Our church people cannot wait and neither can I! I will post pictures as it takes shape.
The choir at Bro. Bernard's sang for the first time under Karla's leadership this past Sunday and they did really good. They are so excited and really sang with all their heart. She has 50+ in the choir, but only 40 or so were in town this time. Of course, I think Karla did great! She was her excited self and trying to make them smile! :)

Bro. Gene,
I couldn't think of a better minister to have preach!!! Your progress is so exciting, I look forward to seeing the pictures of the church as post them.
Sis. Karla,
Your talent amazes me. Not only are you very capable but you are very anointed. I believe God has great things in store for you.
Way cool. I'm looking forward to pictures of your new sanctuary.
So excited for you all!!! I can't wait to see pictures, but even more so, I can't wait to see it in person.
Love you!
I want to visit your new church! After all- you need at Ouellette to have been at service in each building! lol
Love ya'll.
We had a wonderful time at New Life, Pflugerville! The service was wonderful, singing and music great, and preaching AWESOME! LOL! Of course, you knew I would say that. It was all led by PASTOR Gene Holley, and the church is growing under his leadership! Karla, Cameron and Chad were great on the music! Thank you Pastor Holley for having us come. We enjoyed it more than we can say! Love you all and we're PROUD of you!
