Reverend James Nolder was our special guest
today and delivered such a powerful message. And as
always, he was free to deliver what God had instructed. He
was right on the money with the message, and even touched on
several things we'd talked about in the last few sermons.
After that, we had our membership ceremony and took 65
members in to our ministry, most of who were in attendance.
There were others who were not able to make it, but that is
understandable. Those folks had expressed a definite
interest in being a member, yet were tied up for the day.
Even at that, both parking lots were about stuffed...but let
me remind you, we have a third parking area too. As
for this day, this is just the beginning and
the only words I have is, "Look what the Lord has done!"
After we were finished with the membership, we took in the
leadership, and Pastor Nolder prayed over those appointed.
Then we enjoyed a good meal and great fellowship
sharing in one accord each others company. To say the
least, it was a wonderful, wonderful time; and let me say,
"what others meant for harm, God meant for good" and some of
you know exactly what I'm talking about. God has been
so gracious with His presence and miracles. We
can always bank on what is in the scriptures. It is a
privilege to see my dad's ministry live on, yet I give God
all the glory for where we are, for what we've learned, and
for all He has done and is doing. Praise be to
God..!!! Here is a link to some
pictures from the day.
I hope to be able to build a page with everyone's picture
sometime in the near future; A Living Waters Portfolio.
