We are nearing week 4 of our 5 week celebration of New Life Community Church's 50th Anniversary and what a ride it has been!
I was anticipating great things but what has occurred has exceeded my expectations!
Week 1 - watching those 12 men bring down 12 stones to build a memorial for the first 50 years was special. People suddenly started clapping all on their own as the men came down the middle of the sanctuary to the front to lay their stone on the memorial. Here is a picture of Shami and myself next to the memorial.
Week 2 - hearing Pastor Johnny Garrison play "Great is Thy Faithfulness" on the piano during worship and then going right into the next song singing "Hallelujah!" was like heaven just opened up and gave us a glimpse of what a piece of life after earth will feel like.
Week 3 - seeing the standing ovation of love spontaneously given to Pastor Larry Gallaway as he came to speak was truly remarkable, and seeing God our Healer heal 2 people that day filled me with great joy! Can't even forget the 900+ people that attended our Fall Block Party that night!
Anticipating God to do awe-inspiring things as we begin to bring the celebration to a close with week 4 & 5 ahead!!
