Season of Seeking Coming Soon
On the first 21 days of 2010 the Church of God of Prophecy will mobilize thousands to a time of fasting and prayer. This will be the fourth year that the call has gone out for the Church of God of Prophecy world wide to begin the year seeking God for His guidance, blessings, and power to do His will in this world.
Pastors, Leaders, Bishops, and Lay People we invite you to join in this Season of Seeking God on the first 21 days of January. There are many blessings that come through fasting and the Bible even mentions a few blessings that only come through seeking God in a fast. I am sure we all agree that our world needs the people of God to rise up and call on His name fervently. We will not be alone in this time of prayer and fasting. Many groups throughout many nations are declaring a time of fasting for the first days of this new year. You will not want to miss participating with others inside the Church of God of Prophecy as well as thousands beyond our ministry family as we seek God for great and mighty things this coming year.
"Call unto me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things that you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3

Pelham Happenings
Poster by Pastor Martin.
Sorry to be so long in getting something on our Blog.
Pelham has had a "special" visitation of the Holy Spirit in the last few weeks, for which we are very thankful.
In October the church was very kind to Pastor and Sister Martin for Clergy Appreciation month. Many kind words and gifts were shared with us. Thanks to everyone who helped make all these wonderful things possible.
The month of November was also a great month for the Church.
By December Christmas was in the air and all seemed to enjoy the season so very much. Our Choir sang each Sunday and on the third Sunday two programs were presented in honor of Christ our Lord. The Youth and Children of Pelham were active in both the singing and the plays. Sister Melinda Bratton and Brother Tom Bratton were in charge of getting Christmas Food for twenty, (20), families.
So many cards and nice things were given to us. We are so very thankful for all the church does for us.

Valleys and Mountains in the Life of Christians
This taken from "Love Worth Finding" October 20. 2009
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
Did you know that it is an impossibility of geography to have a valley without a mountain? They are beautiful complements in God's grand creation.
The valley is the place of vision. It is the place of repose and reflection.
The mountain is the place of discovery and a place to become strong.
If you find yourself in a valley, it is because you have come down from a mountain. If you're on a mountain, you came to that place by way of the valley.
Are you in the valley or on the mountaintop? Read Psalm 46 about the strength of the Lord. Rest and rejoice in His strength, wherever God has you right now.

Making Sense of What We Don't Understand
This is from "Love Worth Finding" September 11, 2009
Making Sense of What We Don't Understand
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts." Psalm 139:23
A little boy had a jigsaw puzzle that on one side had a map of the world and on the other side a picture of a man. His mother asked him to try to work it, and before long the little fellow had put the puzzle together. The mother was surprised to find that the little fellow knew so much about geography.
"How on earth did you do that?" she asked.
"Oh," he said, "I worked the other side first. When I got the man right, the world was right."
How true that is! We will never fix this world until we get the man right -- the Man Jesus Christ, that is.
Are things in your world confusing you these days? Turn to Jesus and trust Him to make sense of what you don't understand.

Great Day
Sunday, August 23, was a wonderful day at Pelham church. God blessed our morning worship as we were brought into the "Holy of Hollies" with the Lord. Our Sunday night service was great. God touched the life of one of our young ladies, Carley, and she gave us an encouraging word from the Lord about keeping the "faith."

Bible Study
On August 19 Deacon Mike Folker finished a Bible Study on 1st John chapter 3. Mike is going through the entire book of 1st John with this study. This entire bible Study has been such a blessing to our church. He will start chapter 4 on August 26. These Bible Studies are held at 7:00 PM in the church fellowship hall. Chapters one and two had already proven to be a great blessing to our church. As Pastor I encourage everyone to attend.

Welcome Back Pastor & Sister Martin
The serevice at Pelham on Sunday,(August 16),begin as usual. As Sunday School came to a close one of our Deacons announced why there were several ladies missing from our service, (I had noticed some were out). The Deacon announced the church was giving a "Welcome Back" lunch for Sister Martin and myself. WOW, what a surprise to both of us! They had brought the food in the back door so we could not see what was going on. Also the church gave a card and what was written by different ones was a blessing. We had NEW visitors that just fit in with us and even stayed for lunch.
Our worship was annointed by the Holy Spirit and God granted a wonderful alter call after my sermon on, Man's Thought's vs God Thought's. We are so thankful for the wonderful opportunity to pastor such a great group of people.

Spring AWAKEN Tour
Get ready for the coming tours of tours!! The theme for the evangelistic tour this year will be called "The Cure." The sole purpose of this tour is to awaken the Church of Jesus Christ to greater works. John 14: 12. Hence the name AWAKEN! Sadly, we live in a day and age where the church seems to be at ease in Zion. Asleep in the enemies hands. His left hand is humanism and his right prosperity. The Church must be challenged. I believe God has called us to do just that, with this tour. The writer of Hebrews tells us to provoke one another to love and good works. I truly believe with God's help and empowerment we can awake the sleep giant called the Church.
We are counting on you to help support these tours in your area. Begin praying and calling upon God for these events.
Saturday, March 7th-Hamilton, 6:30 PM
Saturday, April 4th- Huntsville, 6:30 PM
Saturday, April 25th -Bessemer, 6:30 PM
Wednesday, August 5th- Birmingham, 6:30 PM
Saturday, August 8th -Birmingham, 10 AM
