Yesterday was another GREAT day at Emmanuel. We started our morning service with a child being baptized and ended our service with a young mother being saved! Folks were kneeling at the altar and many others knelt at their pews. God met with us today!
The Children of the World international children's choir (sponsored by World Help) ministered in our morning service. The group consisted of 16 children from the Philippines, Nepal, and Uganda. They stayed in the homes of our church members, performed during the Chonda Pierce concert, and then during our morning service. The kids stole our hearts, as we were reminded of how God has blessed the USA and how we can be a blessing to others by showing God's love in meeting their needs. The World Help Director for Africa was our guest preacher and his message tied in with exactly what I have been preaching for several months -- Serving!
Last night, we enjoyed a Night of Praise as God spoke through the vocalists and musicians in our church. I was encouraged that so many new people were involved. A special thanks to each one who ministered, and to Brian G. for coordinating this effort. Our future Worship Pastor and his wife were visiting, so it gave them a great opportunity to see the talent God has blessed us with. Joey even joined in with a solo last night.
It's been an EXTREMELY busy weekend, but it was worth it all. Again, thanks to all the volunteers who helped us accommodate our guests and make the events of this weekend possible. Thanks to God for giving people the vision to build such a large building in such a small community... and then bringing the people to fill it!
