Rejoicing Over The Lord’s Blessing Yesterday

Praise the Lord for his goodness to us yesterday here at the church.  At first, I was a little bit discouraged: the crowd looked a little light, but I quickly dismissed the thought and determined to focus on what God was doing.  Here are some of the highlights:

1  We had a young lady saved after the morning service.

2  The chapel had another great Sunday morning service with 45 in attendance and several first time visitors.  God has his hand on Pastor Barber and the chapel!

3  We had a combined evening service with the Jersey Shore Baptist Chapel of Little Egg Harbor.  The house was full and Pastor Barber preached a powerful message, and after the preaching we baptized 2 converts: Corey Herring from the chapel; and Paul Pretino from the church. 

4  After the service several more people came forward from the church and from the chapel desiring believer’s baptism.  We will be baptizing again this Sunday night.

Looking back, it was one of the best Sundays of the year.  Praise the Lord!!! Let’s pray that God will continue to bless in these coming weeks as we head into the Spring campaign.

PS – After checking the stats, it turned out that Sunday morning was the fourth best attendance so far this year.
