Message from the Pastor

photoA wonderful time with The Lord:
It's Monday morning the sun is shining, the birds are singing and CPW is tearing up our parking lot with a small trachoe.
Oh well.
Happy late Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there. I certainly hope that you enjoyed a blessed day and you were showered with love.
An old Jewish Proverb says:
"God could not be everywhere so He made Mother's"
We have just finished up a very busy week with revival. Bro. Mike Bearden did a wonderful job sharing with us each night a word that came directly from the heart of God.
I for one can say that I received a blessing each night from the Word.
Thanks to everyone who pitched in with the revival from being here early to have the doors open, to those who were out in the parking lot greeting our guests, to those who came early to be a part of the choir.
You guys rock!
Now let's talk about yesterday for just a moment.
We could not have planned a better Sunday for our friends "Eternal Vision" to be with us concert.
They were concerned about coming on Mother's Day because they did not wont to be a distraction.
After several conversations with Gail we decided to go ahead with the program as scheduled and they did not disappoint.
Our church has known these guys almost 10 years now and they have become a part of our family.
They poured their hearts into every song and what a blessing they brought to the congregation.
Praise the Lord.
I for one have not stood up and shouted and praised the Lord as much as I did yesterday.
Sad to say but it's true.
These guys know they have a standing invitation to come and worship with us in song any time they are in the area.
The crowd in attendance was nothing short of spectacular.
Hey what better place to take your Mom on Mother's Day than church?
Now we get back in the swing of things.
Not really. This week is just as busy as the one we just completed. This coming weeked the Youth of the church are headed to Myrtle Beach for "Beach Blast."
This is a fun and exciting weekend for them as they learn to share with each other and grow closer as a youth group.
I really want to say thanks to everyone who has so graciously donated much needed items for them to take to the beach.
These items will curb the cost for the youth group.
This coming Sunday I have another surprise for you.
Dr, Darrell Rooks the former Pastor of Cedarwood Baptist Church will be speaking to us about some overseas mission opportunities that are avaiable.
He shared with me this morning that he has the money already in place to build 30 houses in a third world country.
Not going to tell you which country, you need to be here Sunday night to hear.
Looking at the weather map we are in for a beautiful week so let's get out and enjoy it.
God bless you. Hope you enjoy the blessing of our heavenly Father this week.
Email me with any comments you might have.

Until next week
