JUly 2017 Newsletter
JULY NEWSLETTER
Greetings in the of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
First off, I must apologize that this is arriving so late. Due to the camp meeting then a week filled with appointments I have not been able to get this out as early as I would have liked to.
We have just closed out our 2017 Camp Meeting and let me tell you that if you were not there you missed a good one. Several people who came testified that it was a battle to make it but were glad that they had. Bro. Wingrove mentioned that several others had informed him that they had planned on being there however to circumstances beyond their control were unable to attend. We missed seeing all who did not attend and hope to see you next year.
You could feel the spirit of God moving in each service and the Holy Ghost was working in lives every service. We had several old fashioned Holy Ghost given sermons that had life changing impacts on our ministers. Then we had services where the sermons took second place to the moving of the Holy Ghost. It was with sadness that I left Friday night because it would have been wonderful to keep going to services like the ones we had this year.
The new sanctuary was not completed in time for camp meeting this year. The air conditioning’s back order status kept being pushed back and the last I heard it was around the 28th of June. Because of this delay we ask that everyone pray that God’s will be done, if it is not the way we were headed with the heating and cooling of the new sanctuary that God would direct our paths to the correct provider. Bro. Cox, from Missouri, during his sermon told us that God had plans for the completion of the new facility and that God would provide the means of having it completed.
