    Pastors Notes:

    The Lord continues to show upand move among us.. For thelast several weeks, the Lords

    presence has been so real and so powerful onSunday mornings! I truly believe the Lord is doing what He said that is moving in response toour WORSHIP. Worship is not what we respond to. Worship is what the Lord responds to.The Psalmist said Oh that men would praise the Lord... There are divine dividends when we

    praise & worship the Lord. Lets not pull back from what we are doing. Let us press harder and

    longer to get into His presence!!!! Im all in.how about you?????

    This Wednesday evening and next Wednesday evening, our Pastor Emeritus & Senior AdultPastor, James H. Shealy, will be bringing the Word to us. He did an absolutely wonderful jobpreaching the first two Sunday nights of this month. PLEASE.be in the Lords house to hearthe Word of God and allow the Lord to make application of His Word in our lives. See youWednesday at 7:00 PM.

    This coming Sunday will be the last Sunday in this Fiscal Church year. Lets finish strong!!!!If you have tithes that need to be paid or have other gifts youd like to give, please plan on doing

    it this Sunday. Please, let me just encourage you to be faithful and consistent in your giving to

    the Lord. Ill be sharing a little Sunday morning about some of the efforts that we are involvedin and how the Lord is using our church to touch the harvest in our community. It is onlythrough faithful, consistent and sacrificial giving that we are able to move forward in doing whatthe Lord has asked us to do. THANK YOU for what you are doing and will continue to do.
