BLESSED BY GOD!

We had a great time this past Sunday through Tuesday as Rev. Steve Rankin led us in a time of renewal. (Note previous blog). God blessed us with His presence as we gathered together for three days to praise and worship Him. What was especially wonderful was the response of the kids who each night flooded the altar to pray. We are grateful for Steve's leadership and appreciate his willingness to be used by God while here in Leoti.



I believe Steve is trying to make a point, don't you? He made several points as he preached from Hebrews regarding reverent submission, from 2 Corinthians as it pertained to the old giving way to the new, from Matthew 8 as it related to the intentionality of Jesus to touch the untouchables and for us to do the same, and from Ephesians 2 - God's working through Jesus to bring about a new humanity. Great stuff.





Aimee and Heidi smiling as they prepare for the Tuesday evening service. Heidi sang on Monday night and did a wonderful job. She sang the song "In Christ Alone". Thanks Heidi.


Yep, here we are, Rankin, Just, and Just, together again. What a great time to play and sing and lead worship. Hope you all enjoyed it. Most of all I pray God blessed you in our time of worship. God honored our prayers for renewal. May we be intentional about staying renewed as we seek to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Wow! This extended weekend was great. You never know how God is going to work, but I have learned that if we let HIM, He will. Thanks to Steve who brought us all together and made us think...thanks to Rick & Mary Lou for the great worship music....It was awesome to see all the kids there, but the thing that really touches me is seeing grown men (& women) on their knees praying to our loving God. What a blessing our church is...I love you all.
