Whew!! So much to say.

This weekend was a great time for our youth! New Life UPC, our mother church, had Youth Revival with Bro. Shay Mann, General Youth Secretary. Cameron was in a drama and plays the bass for the Youth Choir. The drama was really incredible. It was set the song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart". It shows how youth are enticed by the enemy and can be totally eclipsed by sin. Cameron was a demon called Hatred. If you click on this picture you can see the part he played a little better (he is on the second row, second from the left). For some reason, I was always called upon to play the devil and it looks like the gift has been passed on- is that a good thing?


The youth praise band, Beyond the Noise, led worship tonight and it was really good. They have a new CD and you can hear samples of their songs on their website. Most of the songs are written by them. It is led by the youth pastor and his wife, Seth and Sarah Simmons. You can also purchase their CD online. All the proceeds go to the youth group— Fusion.


It was casual tonight. I couldn't believe it when I saw what Seth was wearing! We had to get a picture...
Six received the Holy Ghost at the mother church today and several were baptized. Revival continues.

We had 34 in our last service in our old location this morning! The Spirit was tremendous. We added two more singers to our worship team for a total of six with Karla and I. I spoke on "Creative Faith" and I believe that we will hear of miracles taking place from this morning's service. We have a young lady who is in need of the Holy Ghost. She is so hungry, so she will get it! She is feeling the need to stop smoking, she bought a longer dress this week that she said she would NEVER do and she is asking off work for each Sunday now. She has spent time in prison and has been out for a little while. Wouldn't you say she is a perfect candidate for what God can do?

Our chairs will be delivered tomorrow —OH, and I just received word that Life Tabernacle gave enough to finish paying them off tonight in service!!!! Thanks to the most wonderful group of people in the world. We love y'all.

Our carpet will be installed on Tuesday and we will complete the day with a cleaning night.

The church will join together at the new location on Wednesday night to anoint the new place with prayer and worship! We will pray over every chair, every door, the Sunday School room(s).

We have just a little more painting to complete tomorrow - does painting ever end?

We had a table, some stackable burgundy chairs, an easel for teaching, and two file cabinets donated this past Saturday. They called and said, "If you can pick it up within an hour, you can have it FREE!" Bro. Stephens and I went to check it out and we didn't have room to carry it all. So, the District Manager of Farmer's Insurance here in Round Rock said, "Just take it in my truck." So, not only did they give us stuff free, they gave us a way to get it home! These items will pretty much complete the equipment we need to get our classrooms set up. God sends it when you need it. Isn't He so good?

A prayer request - our land deal has hit a few glitches. Pray that the barriers will be removed. We really need to get our permanent location underway.

Whew! Did I really type all this? On to a new week....

UPDATE: The carpet installation was pushed to Wednesday! They said they should be finished and out by 2pm and then we can move the chairs in before prayer. So our cleaning will be moved to Thursday evening. You know how construction goes.... ALSO - have you ever bought paint in stages (10 gallons, then 10 more gallons, then 5 gallons and then 3) and the last batch be off just a little bit? The base is the same, the numbers are all the same - but we did not notice until it dried that it is a little different color!!!!! We had to reroll several rooms with the new paint because we had spot painted the imperfections and you could see everyone of them.
