Top of the Morning to you!!! We greet you in Divine Love; our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven!!! We started Wednesday with our New Members's Class and I am glad to say that we have 2 more members who have completed their New Member Orientation and will recieve thier certificate of completion on Sunday Morning as we introduce them to the church family, and release them to work in ministry!!
Our Bible class was again great as we continue to study what it is we believe as a Baptist! We studied article # 9 God's purpose of Grace: We believe that election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which he graciously regenerates, sanctifies, and save sinners; that being perfectly consistent with the free agency of man, it comprehends all the means in connection with the end; that it is a most glorious display of God's soverign goodness, being infinitely free, wise, holy, and unchangeable; that it utterly excludes boasting, and promotes humility, love, prayer, praise, trust in God, and active imitation of his free mercy; that it encourages the use of means in the highest degree; that it may be ascertained by its effects in all who truly believe the gospel; that it is the foundation of Christian assurance; and that to ascertain it with regard to ourselves demands and deserves the utmost diligence!!!!
We had an awesome discussion about this article, I think what I love about our Bible Class is the fact that our family members are very interested in knowing what it is that we believe.
Well also this week the association that our church is apart of, the Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Association under the leadership of Moderator, E. Merle Brown held our annual Valley Wide Revival at the Liberty Hill Baptist Church, Pastor James G. Davis is the host. I have the privilege to attend this week and here are the speakers and sermon topics: Monday Night Pastor Ralph Huling of St. James Missionary Baptist Church, he came from Mark 12:29-31 and the topic was A hard look at love!! On Tuesday Night Pastor Marcus Gibson of Greater Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church, he came from Acts 8:4 and the topic was the everywhere work of the church!!! Of course Wednesday night I was not present because we had Bible Class at our Church and on Thursday night Pastor Vincent Wilson of the Nazareth Missionary Baptist Church, he came from Mark 5:5, his topic was no stone in Jesus hand!!! This revival has been a tremendous blessing, I'm looking forward for tonight, the Preacher is Pastor Lacoya Day of the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church!!!
Well next week we will have our Spring Revival starting Wednesday March 11- Friday March 13, 2009. Our Revivalist for the week will be Pastor Keith D. Witherspoon of the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church of South Bend, IN. We are expecting God to move in a mighty way at this revival!!! If you would love to come our church is located at 1326 10th Avenue in Columbus, Georgia!! Let us see your face in the place!!
Winning the Lost at any Cost,

Excited about the things that God is working out. Whatever God promises he does. I am a follower/supporter from a distance for you Pastor. God is having his way in your ministry. You are taking off so you better make sure you got your running shoes on because you are going to higher depths and dimensions in God. And I am on the sidelines cheering you on. Be blessed in this season; God is truly the reason. -Delilah
