Weekend Events

Galen reported that David has a parole hearing at 8:30 this morning. We have already prayed that the right decision will be made regarding his release. He has been very patient.

Noel had another heart episode this week. He is being monitored by St. John's Hospital and has an appointment for Tuesday morning. The chief cardiologist will be running some new tests on him. With the strength of God, Noel has been able to continue his legal job with American Insurance and lead a normal life.

Sunday was fantastic! There were 19 of our Bible Class members present. We studied James and how to control our anger. The last two Sundays have been about the evil tongue. The question was posed as to how hearing the Word of God has changed us as people. Two people said that they have learned that they can decide whether to have joy, or let other people destroy them. The morning worship was unusual. It began with the baptism. Lately, is has been adults! Then, we had popcorn testimonies. About 15 people spoke. I just sat and listened. The service ended with Communion. Sherry sang, "Paid In Full" while the elements were being passed. About 150 people stayed for the Harvest potluck. I've never seen so much food!! The choir ate first so that we could begin practice at 12:45 p.m. We practiced for an hour. We are using the accompaniment tape for the concert, but I am the practice pianist. Speaking of music, the singing in our church service is the best ever! We sang, "There Is A Fountain" and "Only Trust Him" with piano, drums, and guitars. Actually, we sing for about 10 minutes. When I stop singing and just listen, the harmony and strength of the voices gives me goose bumps! I've visited DEAD churches, and I know the difference!
