Youth Bash

April 25, We gathered to eat, play and worship with our youth. Our turn out was really good and everyone seemed to be having a great time in fellowship. We were so glad that Brother Martin was able to attend, God is really blessing him with healing. Wayne Chance and Tom Bratton grilled hot dogs and hamburgers while the youth played volleyball. We had one mishap Bro. Gary fell and hit his head but he was a good sport and hung in till the end. This is not the first time Gary has injured himself, next year he gets padding. This weekend we are having our Mother-Daughter banquet directed by Sister Jean McMahon, we are praying for good weather and a great turnout.

Donna Howard

Last Sunday our church was so worried about our pastor Bro. Martin who had been hospitalized with a problem with his heart. I can report now that the good Lord has heard our prays and returned him to us, a little weak but on the mend. In his absence Sister Donna Howard was with us and brought with her two guest Nicole and Malachi. They are both in the youth department at the Odenville Church of God of Prophecy. Nicole did a beautiful dance interpretation. Malachi sang and played piano. They are both so blessed with their relationship with the Lord and the work He is doing through them. Donna really had our church moving in the spirit, as she says He showed up!!!!!!!!!!. Donna also signed to a wonderful song. I know no one left that services without feeling a personal touch from the Lord. We are so thankful for her visit and can't wait for the Womans Leadership Conference.

Easter Sunday

WOW!! What a great time we had on Easter Sunday. Morning Worship attendance was 77 breaking the old attendance record that has stood for some time. To God goes all praise!

Sister Jean McMahon directed our choir in a beautiful presentation of "My Redeemer Lives."

Special thanks to Henry Rooks for building the new sound booth, that was so needed for our church.

Thanks to Sister Anita Janckson, Sister Sabrina Johnson, and Sister Jennifer Chance for a great Children's program. Our children really did a great presentation in their program also.

New Growth

We are growing and changing with each day, God has so blessed our church. Well we are just a few days from Easter and I feeling so excited about all our changes in our chapel. With change there always comes excitement and not everyone can like everything that is new. I know I am set in my ways sometimes, but I truly believe that we must look to our future and if we want new growth and to win souls for the Lord, we must be able to reach the old and young alike. Everyone has work so hard on getting this work done. I see our staff working together to find ways to reach more people and doing the work the Lord has commanded. So I hope you all have a blessed Easter. Let us remember what this day is all about, He's Alive.
