This Sunday night will be our first performance of Heavens Gates. This performance will be for the church only. We wanted to give our church family a chance to see it because we expect the turn out the following Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights to be large. Heavens Gates is a very challenging ministry to undertake. It takes commitment from so many people, people with already busy schedules who are willing to give up most of their time to practice and prepare. I knew I had a great church but my respect for this church soars. Ive seen people dig in and work like never before, pushing the bar of commitment to new heights. It is truly a team effort, but some have gone so far above what could ever be expected. God keeps records of everyone who contributes. Everyone is an important piece of the puzzle. But some need to be recognized for their tireless sacrifice and efforts. We could not have done this without people like Ritchie Hayes, Skip Haynes, Steve Ray, Cory Harrison, Skip Sullivan and others whove worked so hard to get props, stage and sound ready. Also, I thank God for Judy Wise, Jennifer Ewing and Donna Noe who actually wrote the entire script and have invested so much time in pulling together an almost new cast. We basically had to start over with a lot of new people. But we realize its not our talents and abilities which make this drama significant. We need your continual prayers for the anointing to shake this place with conviction. Without Gods blessing we have worked for naught. I know God will be present each time we perform if we dont forget that its for his glory and for bringing lost souls into the kingdom of God. I expect many to be saved but if one soul is saved, it was worth every penny we spent and every minute we worked to make it happen. You cannot put a price tag on a soul. I love this church. I burst with anticipation. Roger __________

After Easter Events The Helper Comes The disciples waited in Jerusalem for God to keep His promise of sending the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came to all the believers. Today, your child will learn that He comes now to those who believe. He cannot be seen, but His work in our life can: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Memory verse: John 14: 26. ______________ CONGRATULATIONS To Jon & Pam Bewley, Jackson & Jonmichael on the birth of their new son & brother, Jeremiah Hudson.

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week

Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. This scripture shows how Christ has revealed His Word through illustrations. Many individuals may feel that Scripture can be overwhelming and hard to understand, but Jesus specifically used stories and parables to preach the gospel in such a way that His audience could always comprehend and receive the message. Heavens Gates is a visual gospel presentation. Our goal is to present Gods Word in drama and experiences that will connect directly to people. Remember, Gods Word is not limited to a book or preaching; therefore, His Word transcends our efforts and reaches every person that the Holy Spirit touches. Get ready to preach a salvation message through Heavens Gates.
~ Jonathon
