Pastor’s Notes
We’re right at 1 week of fasting….

How are you doing? Are you staying
committed to the things the Lord had spoken to you? I
hope so…. I believe so….. I can feel the effects of the
fasting in our services and in our prayer meetings.
Such a wonderful presence of the Lord!!!!! Keep it up!
We’ve got a ways to go, but the AFTERWARD is
going to be GREAT!!!!!!!!!
It’s hard to believe that the first month of this new year is already gone. Time is swiftly
moving along. The month of February holds some great things. There will be a
Children’s Service on the 20th, baby dedication on the 27th and preparations for Revival
all month.
One of the preparations that I have thought about over the last couple of days goes back to
some of the Biblical Revivals. You often see where the temple of God lay in shambles
but a Godly king would come to power and clean up the temple. It was necessary for the
House of God to be right so that the worship that went on inside would be right I
personally think that the Sanctuary is a holy place and deserves for us to treat it as such. I
also think that what we do in the Sanctuary prior to worship can adversely affect the
worship and flow of God’s Spirit. That can be both positive and negative. If we were to
spend the time sitting in His presence, meditating on Him or praying for the Lord to
move, what do you think that would do to our services? If we were to talk to our
neighbors, laugh, tell jokes and move about, what would that do to our service? I hope
you understand my point. There is nothing wrong with being friendly or cordial to those
around you, but what are we willing to do in order to see revival come? Would we be
willing to have our conversations in the lobby? Would we be willing to come into the
sanctuary with a prayerful attitude, a seeking heart, a willingness to just sit in His
awesome presence? I hope you will join with me in doing all we can to create such an
atmosphere and see if it will make a difference. I truly believe that God will reward any
people that honor Him and seek Him!
If you did not get to fill out one of the yellow fasting cards, please get one off one of the
tables in the lobby, fill it out and give it to Pastor Terry. Shortly, there will be blue
“afterward” cards for you to fill out as the Lord begins to answer prayers.
Welcome to some new and returning members! We’d like to
welcome to our fellowship Michael Hall, Harold & Peggy
Chesney, Nathaniel Crocker, and Emily Gwinn. We are so
blessed to have them join with our family. If you did not take
the opportunity to join our church, there will be another
opportunity on the last Sunday of February. Please call the
church office (476-2977) and let us know that you desire to
join. If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment with the Pastor to
discuss it, please call.
There is still time to pick up tithing envelopes! If you haven’t gotten yours yet, get them
off the small table in the hall as you are going towards the restrooms. If you don’t see
your name on a box and would like to join us in the blessing of tithing, see Pastor Terry
and he’ll get the info to the secretary and a box will be secured for you! Thanks for your
faithful and consistent giving!!!!!

Special thanks to Pastor Jason Fowler as well as the workers and young people who
prepared a wonderful meal for the Senior Adults this past Saturday. If you missed this,
you are the loser. It was well planned. The building was beautifully decorated and the
food, delicious. Thanks again for thinking of us!
Note to all those 50 and over: Please mark your calendar now for Feb. 24. This is the
date of our next Senior Adult Fellowship meeting. The time is 6 PM. This will be a
special vision casting meeting and we hope that every senior adult will get involved in at

you but noone is asked to bring food. We look forward to sharing this time with you. Go
do it now! MARK THAT CALENDAR!
