"Complaining proves nothing but that you can hear the voice of the Devil"
"If you don't live by the praise of men you won't die by their criticism."
"Since you can't imagine a place where He isn't, you might as well imagine Him with you."
~ Bill Johnson
Grateful for His Presence...
In particular, the last few weeks the Lord's presence has been very obvious in our worship services. We all know that God is always with us, but we also realize there are times when there is a heightened sense of His manifest presence in which people are moved upon and touched in powerful ways. I am grateful for such an atmosphere in our midst. I am grateful for the lives that are being touched, the gifts of the Spirit that are flowing, and the anointed worship that fills our gatherings. God is so very good to us. His love drenched us last Sunday and we witnessed people receiving life-giving prophetic words of encouragement. The week before we heard wonderful testimonies of healing and witnessed an entire congregation calling out to God in faith. I just want to remind us all, not to take these things for granted. God is good to us and we should praise Him for it. Let's live in expectancy....the best is yet to come! PTL!
This Sunday:
The Call You Need to Make (Pt. 3)
The last two Sundays we have been looking in Scripture at God's invitation to make a call to Him. We have seen the powerful promises He has made to us concerning how He will respond. This week we will study another call we are invited to make. Come hear some exciting testimonies and be encouraged to believe in the supernatural intervention of God in your daily lives. Please invite a friend and come expecting.
We are excited about Summer camp at Springfield for our preteens on July 19 - 22. The cost for our Grace House preteens will be $100 (The church is offsetting the cost to make it more affordable for those desiring to go). See Allison Fisher for more details and to sign up.

Have A Laugh....
Trying to do my share to help the environment, I set up a trash basket at my church and posted above it this suggestion: "Empty water bottles here."
I should have been a little more specific, because when I went to check it later, I didn't find any bottles in it. But it was full of water.
