Sunday August 30, 2009

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 this morning off with New Members class at 9:00am and then went right into our Sunday School hour. Let me say to our Sunday School Superintendent Sister Nakita Bell, Thank you for doing an awesome job with our Sunday School. We had Sunday School attendance month this month which made our attendance at Sunday School spike. Sunday School attendance month is when every member of our church make a special effort to commit themselves to Sunday School. Hopefully that commitment will continue even after the month is over. Our Sunday School lesson was The Promise of Life. We had an awesome time. The Banner attendance went to class #1 which is our children class and the Banner offering went to class #3 which is our adult class(the class I teach).

Worship service started promptly at 11:00am, our mass choir was in charge, The Voices of New Beginning, they did an awesome job in setting the atmosphere. I continued the series of: "When the Foundations are being destroyed what can the righteous do" I came from Revelation chapter 2 verses 1-4, the sermon was entitled getting back to our first love!!!

Man when I tell you the Lord showed up and showed out, it was a high time at service and a wonderful experience. 2 more souls were added to the church family.

Please continue to keep us lifted up in prayer as we continue to Win the Lost at any Cost!!!!

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. Let me first start off with last Wednesday night Bible class. We started off with prayer service at 6:00am and New Members Class. Bible Class started off at 7:00pm and again I am so proud of those members who constantly press their way to be in Bible Class. We are still studying the Vision of the House. We have 13 vision statements. We have covered the first two vision statements which are. 1) A Church that must fulfill the great commission. 2) A God-glorifying, Christ centered, Holy Spirit Empowered, people oriented church.
Bible Class was great as usual.

This Saturday we had our Youth Ministry meeting at 10:00am, they broke off at 10:30am to their different groups: Youth Choir, Youth Ushers, Junior Deacons and Youth Praise Dancers. I must tell you that I was very impressed to see our children being active in the Youth Ministry. That afternoon at about 4:00pm we took our Youth Ministry to Dave & Busters in Atlanta, Georgia. Man when I tell you we had a blast, it was off the chain!!!!! It was so fun, and can I tell you I brought my fun with me!!!(Smile)

Sunday started at 9:00am with New Members Class and then we with in to Sunday School at the 10:00am hour. Class #2 which is our teen class won the banner attendance and class #3 which is the adult class(the class I teach) won the banner offering. The lesson was awesome.
We started morning worship at the 11:00am hour, our Youth were in charge of service. The youth were really awesome!!!! I preached from Psalm 11:3 and Romans 12:2. I started this series last week, "When the Foundations are being destroyed, What can the righteous do?" Today I preached "Transformers". The word was awesome!!!!

At 6:00pm went to a friends fellowship service at New Life Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor Vincent L. Wilson. Pastor Branddon Mays of the Greater Miracle Christian Church was the speaker. We had an awesome time!!!! Please keep us lifted up in prayer!!!!

Top of the afternoon to you,

We greet you in Divine Love, our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven.

Let me first start with our Bible class that was held on Wednesday night. Again we are studying the series, "The Vision of the House" making sure that all disciples that worship at the New Beginning Church understand the assignment of our church. I'm excited that the family presses there way to be there.

On this past Friday we had our "Back to School Explosion" Pastor Quinton Dorsey was our speaker ministering to our children. Pastor Dorsey did an awesome job. We were able to give out free school supplies. Also on this Friday after service we had 5 souls to go down in the liquid grave. Hallelujah!!!!

On this Past Sunday Morning New Member's class went forth at 9:00am and then at 10:00am we started our Sunday School. Class #1(Children) won the banner attendance and Class #3(Adults) won the banner offering.

Service started promptly at 11:00am, as usual our choir did an awesome job. This Sunday I started a new series called, "Going back to the Basics" coming from Psalm 11:3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? I think we all can agree that our world is Topsy Turvey, our world is in a mess, but if the church would take its rightful place we can save this generation!!!! Thank God for another soul being added to the kingdom.

At 3:00pm was our annual Men's day, Pastor Jeffrey Dancey of the Mount Moriah Baptist Church was our very special guest. He preached from Psalms 37:11 "The steps of a good man" The service was off the chain. We concluded our day with our associational music at the Mount Zion Baptist Church.

Top of the evening to you,

We greet you with Divine Love, our prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven. We started this Sunday at 9:00am with New Member's class and our Sunday School started at 10:00am. Of course our Sunday School was a tremendous blessing, I am Proud to announce that we are in our Sunday School attendance month and can I tell you that class #1 won the banner attendance and banner offering!!! Oh Yeah Class #1 is our Children's Class.

Service started promptly at 11:00am and this Sunday was the introduction of our Male Chorus, listen our Male Chorus did an awesome job with our song service today(I sing in the Male Chorus).

The message came from Luke 24:36-40 and the title of the message was "Let me show you my Scars" the focus was on verse 40 and it says: When he had said this, He showed them His hands and His Feet.

We focused on that fact that all of has scars! This sermon was so powerful, that folk were being delivered from some past hurts and some secret things that had happen to them. 4 more souls were added to the kingdom of God!!! Praise he keeps on adding to the church.

At 3:00pm we had our Annual Youth Day, Our Youth Pastor, Brother Marcus Scott did an awesome job for our very 1st Youth Day. Let me thank Pastor Corey Neal and the Greater Peace Baptist Church and Pastor Vincent L. Wilson and the New Life Missionary Baptist Church for allowing their Youth Ministries to be apart of this special occasion.

We have a busy week this week on this Friday we will have our Back to School Youth Explosion on this Friday at 7:00pm where we will give out free school supplies, and then Sunday at 3:00pm is our Men's Day celebration!!!!

Top of the Afternoon to you,

We greet you in Divine Love, my prayer is that you and your family are walking under an open heaven.

We started this Sunday off at 9:00am with New Member's Class and our Sunday School started promptly at 10:00am. Our Sunday School was off the chain I am very proud to announce that we revamped our Sunday School. Now both the sons of the house are teaching a class along with me. Bro. Marcus Scott has the beginning class or class #1 which is the 0-12 age group, Minister Marvin Churchwell has the immediate class which is class #2 which is the 13-17 age group and I have the Adult Class which is class #3 which is 18up. Sunday School was a tremendous blessing. As we start this month of August this is our Sunday School attendance month where we encourage every member to come out to Sunday School, and every member make a special effort to be present and on time. The banner attendance went to class #1 and the banner offering went to class #3.

Our Morning worship started at the 11:00am hour and I just believe that everybody was ready to have an awesome experience in service today. The "Voices of New Beginning" song today and they were off the chain. The word came from Joshua 1:2 and the subject was "crossing over". Man God truly blessed the house, I mean folk went to shouting and running it was a blessing. Another soul was added to the kingdom.
