Sunday Morning, July 18, 2010,

This morning, we had two visitors in the meeting with us. One of the men was someone who had recently lost his father. The other visitor was the younger brother of a man who we have been working with for some period of time. The Spirit of God worked in a different way this morning.

As a gathering, we have been through some pretty tough times this year. In January, both Bro Joe and Bro Lee lost their mothers within hours of each other. In March, Anna Coons passed away as a result of a horse accident. In May, Bro Conner died very unexpectedly. There have been some of the saints who have had physical afflictions and other trying situations.

As there were several individuals present who needed comfort and reassurance, the meeting focused on meeting their needs. The singing was very inspirational and the thoughts that were shared by the saints seemed to be just what was needed.

The flow of the meeting was one of complete surrender to the moving of the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to govern our assembly according to the needs that were present.  As a result, no one left without getting the help and edification that was needed.

We are thankful that we have no program that we follow in our meetings and that we are sensitive to hearing what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Despite all the hard times, God 's still blessing and taking us onward and upward! We are thankful for every person who has recently gotten saved and for those who have made spiritual progress in their lives.
