Anointed Youth Service

The Youth Service at Pelham COGOP on Sunday night, October 23, was anointed of the Lord. Tha youth were in the spirit of love and unity as they allowed the Lord to use them in singing, drama and speaking. Our Youth Pastor preached a timely message to the youth as well as the "joy", (just over youth), group. Several were in the altar seeking the will of the Lord for their life and God's direction. What a mighty service!!!

Thanks

Thanks to all the members and friends of the Pelham COGOP that helped make October a special Pastor Appreciation month for Sister Martin and me. As usual, you did and outstanding job of making us feel loved and cared for.
May God bless each of you.

Don't Give Up

Our inability to finish what we start is seen in the smallest of things:

A partly mowed lawn.
A half-read book.
Or, it shows up in life's most painful areas:
An abandoned child.
A wrecked marriage.
Any chance I'm addressing someone who is considering giving up?
If I am, I want to encourage you to remain.
I want to encourage you to remember Jesus' determination on the cross.
Jesus didn't quit. but don't think for one minute that he wasn't tempted to.
Did he ever want to quit? You bet.
That's why his words are so splendid.
"It is Finished" - John 19:30

Wonderful Day

Sunday, June 12, 2011 was a wonderful day for the Pelham COGOP. The spirit of the Lord was so real as we worshipped our Lord. People came forward for prayer and the Holy Ghost fell over the congregation. The Massey Family sang and then two of our youth sang and God blessed us again. Thank God for His blessings on the Pelham church.
