WE have the GREATEST Men in LEADERSHIP at the GATHERING!!!

This morning lines for pre-registration of Christmas at The Gathering were backed up around the building of our church. What an honor it is to serve the poor! This is the third time this year we have had the priviledge to serve the less fortunate in our community and surrounding counties.

Today, as we break ground on our 7 million dollar Retreat Lodge, I pray we never forget the poor among us. Our Christmas at The Gathering Event in December is an exciting time for our church family as well as for many who come out to help make sure a less fortunate child will have christmas this year. You can get more info on TLC web site at www.thelordschild.com .

Please remember to sign up and help serve this year during our Christmas at The Gathering Event in December. Your life will never be the same again!

This week one of our staff, Melissa Brooks (Director of Children’s Ministry) lost her father to a heart attack. Our church family is saddened over this great loss in Melissa’s family.

Paul tells us in Romans: Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. (Rom 12:15 NLT) Our hearts and prayers go out to Melissa as she is walking through this difficult time in her life.

Today I am reminded of the terrible tragedy that struck our nation on September 11, 2001. May that day be a day we will never forget. I am asking everyone to pray for the families of those who lost their lives that day. This is a day that millions around the world are remembering. On September 11, 2001 our nation was forever changed. But out of the ashes came the beauty of a nation that joined together in unity….one nation…under God.

It is important that we pray for our leaders and our nation as a whole. We still live in the greatest country ever. I thank God that I live in America! The land of the free and the home of the brave!

God truly has blessed America!
