Thankful for the Lord's Day

The morning started with an increased attendance to our Men's Prayer Time at 9:00 AM. It is so encouraging to have a group of faithful men gathering to pray for the services.

Bible Study and Worship attendance was down slightly. However, there was still a larger number of folks than a year ago. We had several guests in the morning service. We had someone join the fellowship of our church.

The choir sang a meaningful medley of songs related to thankfulness. Selina's Children's Sermon was classic. She did a great job interacting with the children and getting their responses to her "I Am Thankful for..." List. However, some of the kids were "answer" happy today. I love children!

Tonight, Dennis Cochran preached an incredible message on the "The Greatest Thanksgiving Ever" based on Revelation 5. The "Greatest Thanksgiving Ever" has not yet occurred, but, when we all gather in heaven and worship the Lamb of God, that will be the real Thanksgiving Day.

Several students from First United Methodist Church in Lucedale came and worshipped with us tonight. One of their youth workers, Lee Jones, has been a friend of mine for a long time. It was good to see him.

Having the students with us added to the atmosphere for a great time of worship.

Several Children were present for Children's Choir and Bible Drill. The children will practice Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. They will present their musical next Sunday Night. I can't wait.
