GOD has been busy!

I just wanted to take a second and share how GOD has blessed these past few months. We are approaching our one year anniversary since the ROOTS Coffeehouse Community Group started!





The Tuesday night group has seen some amazing things! Our typical Tuesday Group spends some time studying GOD's Word, praying for each other and just hanging out drinking great coffee!





We have worked our way through the books of Nehemiah, Esther and are just finishing an indepth study of First John. We have seen how GOD providentially works His plan through His people to bring about His great blessings. We learned that GOD's will for His people can be summed up in following the commandments of JESUS.





Follow GOD and Love People.




We have seen people come and people go. People move in and out of the area. People find jobs. People healed. Relationships restored. A wedding. Salvation!




All of time we follow our mission -

Love JESUS - Love People - Serve the Community




May 7th we were blessed with opportunity to pour into a local ministry. 'An Evening of Blessing' started as an idea to raise some money for Mid Cities Pregnancy Center. MCPC sees almost 300 women each month who may be pregnant and may be considering abortion. We wondered what a small group of faithful believers could do to make an impact in this worthy ministry.


We prayed and GOD blessed!




We staged a benefit concert at ROOTS Coffeehouse. Cody Carnes, Dara Joy, Josh Alltop and Marcus Raven performed! GOD packed the place out and people were generous. They gave baby clothes, diapers and alot of money. Since then we have had ladies make baby blankets for new babies and continue to be involved with MCPC.





The Christian Men's Prayer Lunch that meets together every month to pray for each other and others is a good thing. There also is a regular email devotional that goes out almost daily to connect guys together through prayer. Send me an email if you want to be included. We have seen many positive things come through that ministry!




There is talk about starting more home and community groups that connect the unchurched and lost together to grow in CHRIST.




We do not know what the future holds but we will be faithful because we know who holds the future! GOD has great things for those that seek Him.




May you all be richly blessed by our GOD who loves you!
