This morning, I preached on teamwork in the local church and within the Body of Christ. Interestingly enough, today our team shined through! I left at 6:30 this morning to pickup our pianist in Florence, Mike was repairing a gutter that was pulled off the building by the heavy rain, Heather filled a vital gap in coordinating our music, Michael filled an instrumental gap, Justin was setting up rooms that didn't get reset after our carpets were cleaned, Sherman was delivering bulletins and reports, David was preparing E-Street, Dan and George were here early making sure our A/V was ready, Juanita always comes in early to prepare our nurseries, and there were so many others in various areas.
In addition, this week we had an army of people handing out gospel tracts! I'm restocking our supply weekly. Ann had family with her today and has had guests with her for the last several weeks. Tammy & Heather saw their friend saved last week and baptized this morning. Alisha had family and friends present to watch her special day. Savannah was baptized, and the Baker family joined the church. Tonight, our Belize Missions Team gave their report and it was obvious that their efforts made an eternal impact.
God has blessed us with a great TEAM. Our members are ministers and our staff are equippers! In the last three weeks, we've had 8 new members join our team (and 3 more next week), some older members getting off the bench and back in the game, and so many faithful members continue to serve weekly!
Praise God for what He is doing at Emmanuel!
