Well, what a weekend we had. We are VERY tired, but very excited for what God is doing. Friday Night we were at Comunity Chapel Church of God in Cleveland, TN for a benefit singing.
(We will have pictures later on the picture page) We shared the stage with the church singers and our good friends the Trinity Trio. These ladies can really sing, and they have a sweet spirit about them. We always enjoy seeing them and being in service with folks who really love the Lord like they do. Even though it was a benefit we can't remember a time when the folks werent up shouting and praising the Lord. What a great time in the Lord.
We took Saturday off and we had a good reason. Sunday morning we left Cleveland at 6:30am to make our first trip to Tellico Plains, TN. We were at the Long Ridge Baptist Church for the regular Sunday Morning Service. The Sunday School classes were a sign of things to come. We enjoyed the great lessons in Sunday School and really got a blessing from the conversations and the testimonies that everyone shared. In the Sunday Morning service we began to sing and feel a different direction that most times we take the stage. Jeff shared a message with the people about turning our lives over and giving up the burdens and things that hold us all back as Christians, and then we gave the invitation. The altars filled with folks doing business with God as Stephen sang. After an encore of the 2nd verse and the altars still full, Stephen shared the message that was on his heart about giving it all to the Lord and fully surrendering to HIS will.
The church pianist was nice enough to play for Stephen as he broke into an unpracticed version of "I Surrender All". The altars filled again and the Lord had his way as we all received a blessing. We are all thankful for what God ALWAYS does when we just listen to his voice.
Sunday Night we made our way over to Philadelphia TN and the Reed Springs Baptist Church.
What a beautiful building. The renovations they had made to this little church were just great.
We enjoyed the service, and again God had his way in the altar call. We sang, and again Jeff had a message to the people. Jeff really did some good preaching this weekend. We left there very very tired from the long day but very happy about what God was doing. It makes it a lot easier to sing the long day when everyone is so nice, and willing to meet and obey the Holy Spirit.
We can't wait till this coming weekend as we head to Griffin, GA with the folks at New Beginnings Church.
