Weekend Services

Thanks be unto God for His marvelous blessings! The Saturday night service at Browntown was amazing. The Lord challenged us to a lifestyle of "radical Christianity." The words of Jesus in Matthew 16 remind us that we are called to deny ourselves and follow Him. There is a price to pay if we are going to truly serve and please God. At the end of the altar time, the Worship leader felt led to lead the hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross." At the conclusion of the song one of the members of the congregation was directed by the Spirit for us to pray for those with physical needs. The power of healing and restoration was released in the service and several came forward for prayer. I am truly convinced that God responded to the obedience of their faith. It was a great blessing to be with Pastor Tanner, Sis. Kris and the Browntown congregation. The presence of the Holy Ghost was evident in the revival. Sunday found me at the Leesburg church with Pastor Andy Washburn and his wife, Rhonda. The Worship team was a great blessing as they led us into the presence of God. The Lord reminded us that in these uncertain times we can trust in the strength of God. The Lord has been declaring that truth in my heart the past few days. I am determined to trust in God regardless of what is happening in the world around me. The Sunday evening service was wonderful as once again people came forward to present their needs to the Lord. We can rejoice in the fact that God truly cares about us and what is happening in our lives. I was blessed to be able to be at Leesburg with the Washburn's and the local church body. On a personal note; I was honored that my parents, Wallace and Bennie Sue Willingham made the trip from Decatur, AL to be in the service. My dad who is a retired Pastor has preached at the Leesburg church many times over the years. Both my parents and the local church were blessed to be able to have a time of fellowship with each other. Friends and family are such a BLESSING to all of us as we travel the road called life. I am thankful for all the people that God has placed in our lives that have assisted us on our journey with God.
