After last year's mega celebration of our tenth anniversary, this year was pretty low key, however a power day. We had Dr. Jim Ayers from Lancaster Bible College as a guest speaker. He preached on Numbers 13-14 as the spies returned from checking out the Promise Land. It was a 40 day journey and then they gave a report on day 41...the problem was that their report lacked faith, was full of fear and caused the Lord God to consider wiping out all of the Hebrew people. This was a great challenge considering we are about to go into a church wide campaign - 40 Days of Worship. His simple yet profound exhortation - what will happen on day 41! It was great.
Also that morning we had Con. Joe Pitts pray and give a challenge on what to do as Christian citizens. Joe is a great friend and we were honored to have him. Also Mayor Rick Gray attended and also gave a nice greeting to our church. Rick is in the middle of an election battle with Charlie Smithgall, so he was glad to have a peaceful morning. He loved the sermon as well! Eleven years of wonderful ministry. A great joy and blessing!
