I did not get to attend the Quarterly meeting on Friday evening April 27, 2018.

I hope someone will reply with some notes and or post a blog on what all happened.

 

Our evening was started off with Prayer by Brother Mac, and we then sang, “O The Glory Did Roll”

John had volunteered to do the Devotion for the evening but he was unable to attend so the other John took over and gave a very good impromptu devotion on Hosea 7: 7-12 I think, I was distracted a little by a little girl. well, she is cute.

We did have a good discussion on this scripture and we even went into Isaiah, and 2nd Samuel, to discern how good the Lord is to us.  Also that we should seek diligently the Salvation he freely offers.

I was called upon to close the evening with prayer.

Good service and I thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship of friends.

The service tonight had a spirit of GOD sightings talking about things that come about and knowing that the LORD was in them. The supernatural is truly amazing and I even experienced such in preparation of tonight’s message although in modern times we need to diligently try the spirits and not be quick to call things the Holy spirit or lay hands on any man suddenly. We tried some new songs tonight and then had time for specials . The message hinged on scriptures from 2nd Corinthians chapter three and psalms 18:13 befor being led to Jesus in St john 7:51. Jesus ministry was being crucified in the hearts of the Pharisees and others were being led to join that band wagon although Nicodiemous pointed out the Law did not allow for judging a man without hearing from him. The point is there are always two sides to every story and it is foolish to only hear one side and make a judgment. Paul experienced that in the Corinthian church and is even pleading with us today to hear and know the Gospel ,stay away from things that confuse it and cause others to crucify the LORD in their heart. One example of that is the old saying I wouldn’t  go to church with those hypocrites. Can you make an honest judgement on that statement  without hearing from the one who will judge us all. JESUS you are a wonderful Savior and you are my King thank you for your HOLY spirit working through people like the apostle Paul !

Mac opened by asking for prayer requests, of which there were a few, and one that I should mention here, is to pray for the salvation of the souls of men.

There was a little talk about the new baptistery.

There is still a little work to be done to have it functional but I think that it looks good setting in the front of the Church.

We had our Sunday School class on 2nd Samuel Chapter 5 which discussed the kingship of David. and how he waited on the Lord to make the way for him. He united the fragile kingdom and became a strong king that reigned for 40 years.

Pledges were given to the flags and Bible, and then we sang “Canaanland Is Just In Sight”

Birthdays were then asked for and Kay suggested that I may have missed my birthday by being absent last week. So It was Diana and Me that the folks got to sing happy birthday to.

We were then reminded that Next week, Friday would be the Quarterly Meeting and it would be hosted by Happy Home Church at 7:00 PM. Also our regular monthly sing would be the following day on Saturday, also at 7:00 PM.

Coins for Christ was then collected. by one of the big Kids since the little one is a smidge short of walking yet. but it won’t be long now.

We then sang “Come and Dine”, “When They Ring The Bells Of Heaven”, “Just A Little Talk With Jesus” and “Shelter from the Storm”.

The offering was then taken after which Peggy sang “Sheltered In The Arms Of God”, and Mac and Sara sang Farther Along,

Pastor Gregg then brought the Message “Jesus Has A Table Spread–Something for Everyone” Using John 21: 4-12 as the text. which talked about the Lord telling the Disciples how to catch fish. And then having fish and bread cooking for them.

Pastor Gregg discussed the eventuality that Jesus would have a table spread in Heaven for us, and a little of what heaven will be like. using Revelation 21:16

A very good message for us this morning.

We sang “Kneel At The Cross” for a closing song, and Juanita dismissed us in prayer.

 

I do not have exact figures but the yard sale was a success. clearing around $500.00, and there is still a little bit to come in yet.

A huge thanks to all who helped out in this project.

I am probably going to get in trouble for posting this one but we had a good day yesterday,

I am just going to say that you need to try to be at church Sunday because there might be a tiny difference in the appearance of the church you will probably notice it right off.

I hope to see you there.

It has been Crazy busy in my life and I am a little late in getting this post done.

The evening service was started off by asking for prayer requests and praise reports. and there were a few of both.

Pastor Gregg led us in prayer. We then sang “I’ll Live In Glory”

Royce then led the devotion and used Matthew chapter 5 verse 4 as the text.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

We can all be comforted by having a personal relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Gregg then finished off the evening in Isaiah 61:1-3

John H then talked about satan, and needing to know the enemy.

and then we were dismissed by Mac.

it was a good service and good fellowship.

Sunday evening was a musical blessing with a short devotion by the Pastor that sparked a special word from brother Vic that we were thankful to receive . Talking about the spiritual body that we will receive when We will be changed. Making me think of how he is presently working on those that are set apart (sanctified) for his service. We Thank GOD for the visitors that came our way also. We missed brother Royce today and look forward to his return.

It was a blessed day in the LORD….
There was quite a bustle in the Sanctuary this morning as we prepared for worship. Through his power earth can sometimes move heaven. We were greatly blessed from heaven this morning and earth was moved. We were opened in prayer by sister Sharon and our services commenced with young ones cheerfully attending to some of the duties. SS classes began and adult class led by brother John Weisbrod was a virtual success by the result of study and discussion being the goal predicted. The music personally I felt was a huge success as some of the little ones let go of fears and decided to use microphones. Stepping out of the boat can do us all some good and the LORD is blessed. He loves willing souls in his Kingdom.

This is the first time I have ever done a recap of the message but the scripture was from the 4th chapter of Genesis first four verses and last two verses we found there that Abel’s offering was consumed by GOD and there was a fiery respect for the man and the offering. Cain was burned by this and envy over took him causing him to destroy his very own avenue to GOD which was a man that was able to show him the correct way. Then the last two verses showed how another man was sent Seth. His name meaning substitute. He had the ability to show the correct way and his lineage is in the Line of Jesus even though he bore a son by the name of Enos meaning mortal and frail. The last line of chapter four talks about men begining to call on the name of the LORD at Enos time meaning it was a failure to just call on his name and never really know him. If one never knows him how could they be a substitute for him. It is vanity to merely attend church ( call upon his name ) if you don’t truly know him. Are you a substitute for Jesus?

Well this blog post is going to be short.

I was not there and I do not know what happened.

I trust that there was a good service both morning and evening.

I hope to be back for Wednesday Evening
