Sunday guests

I just wanted to update you on our weekend events! We had 41 in service on a regular Sunday. We were pleased to have 4 first time guests and a returning couple from last week. The couple from last week said they loved our church and asked if they could make this their church home (and, "Could they pay their tithes here?")! Of course, I said, "Yes." He used to be Pentecostal many years ago before being married. They are both hungry for God. We had a new young couple with a 2 year old. The wife works with Bro. Mike Crawford from our church. They tried to find us last week and got lost for about an hour! But, they really wanted to come and they found us this time! He said that from the time they walked in the door they felt an overwhelming love and it felt like home. Thank the Lord! They said they would be back next week and want to participate in our Backyard VBS coming up next week. Keep praying for us that we will follow the Lord in all that we do. We also were privileged to have Trevon Norman and Cosme Ojeda join us for service Sunday night at the Bernard's church. It was great to spend some time with them.

The presence of The Almighty draws people so much better than we ever could imagine! I'm thankful for a God who dwells IN us rather than just With us!

Roxana - it is definitely Him!

Jana - thanks for the comment!

Harden and Janet - WOW! Thanks for commenting... it is really good to hear from you. We miss all of you also. I wanted to speak to you at the wedding, but somehow missed getting up close! It was good to see you at Denny's from afar and in the audience. Also, thanks for sponsoring Cameron and Chad for their National Youth Congress trip. They would not be able to go without wonderful people like you! We love y'all.
