3 days journey

For over a year now, we have had this past weekend in the books. We make a yearly trip the first Sunday in April to the Cedar Rock Church in Jackson, GA. This is always their homecoming weekend. Last year Pastor Myers announced that we would be joining them for a 3 day weekend instead of just Sunday Morning and afternoon. So last Friday we left around lunchtime and made our way down for the weekend. Pastor asked Jeff to preach on Friday Night and Stephen to preach on Saturday. We sang a few songs each night and those two brought the messages. Aside from getting to enjoy a weekend with the wondeful people there, they took us out Friday to BUCKNERS and then to ALVINS for BBQ on Saturday. Needless to say we had a hard time singing.

We cannot begin to thank the Griffis family enough for allowing us to stay with them and for rolling out the "welcome mat" to all four of us. Also everyone at Cedar Rock always makes us feel so much at home, we really do feel like we are members of their family. Sunday morning Pastor Jim brought a GREAT GREAT message titled "The Open Door Church" that really helped and encouraged us. After a terrific homecoming dinner we sang a full concert and tried out some new songs on the crowd. Everyone seemed to really like the new stuff, and we are going to be trying it out soon at the 3rd anniversary.

Sunday Night we drove over to Griffin, GA to stop in on our old friend Brother Tyson and the folks at New Beginnings Christian Church. As always we were made to feel a part of the family and the Holy Spirit blessed in the service. Jeff brought a great exhorting message and the altars were full. Stephen found a moment to tell a story of inspiration and again the altars filled. Thank God for his touch and his anointing to bring His Word.

We are looking forward to this weekend again next year.
