Wow!

Powerful Worship service. Zoe was super, Mike was on. The message was good. The eight families involved in the January wreck were in attendance and were called to the podium, four people spoke. The emergency personnel and people who stopped to render aid were in attendance and recognized. Our shepherds and their wives encircled this entire group as prayers were lifted on their behalf. It was very moving. Following the early service everyone else went to their Sunday School classes, the wreck families and their "angels of mercy" had a very special reunion in the gymnasium.

Church attendance was up, but not to the levels I have seen it before. Second service may have been standing room only. Sunday school had a good turnout, not quite as good as last weeks but good none the less. Terry and Gayla were back after they had been helping teach a class on the emerging role of women in worship.

Thank YOU FATHER for all the blessings of this day. Thank YOU for the tremendous experience today at worship. I ask YOUR blessings on Zoe and the work they do through their gift of voice. I lift up those needing YOUR miracle of healing, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally. I ask that you meet the needs of each one. I pray for our spiritual family and for our leaders. I will call upon the LORD.
