Celebration Service!

Last Sunday night we hosted our first Celebration Service.

This service featured three churches that were connected to each other through the Flood of '08.
  • 7th Street Church of God - flooded out completely after the waters of Haw Creek raged through their church facilities.
  • Memorial Baptist Church - generously loaned us their facilities to use for both Sunday and mid-week services.
  • Columbus First Assembly - our church was completely flooded out with close to a million dollar price tag on damages and restoration.
We met in CFA's church sanctuary to give joyful praise to God for bringing us through one of the most difficult years in our church history. We joined with these two congregations to express our appreciation and love for each other. We gathered to celebrate God's faithfulness and goodness. You might say that we were joined at the spiritual hip through the events that hit our community last summer!

It was a great service. Each church contributed to the success of the celebration service. There was unity. There was love...lots of it. There was joy. There was fellowship...great times around the table. There was favor...God's favor extended to three churches who trusted in Him to guide them through uncharted waters...literally!

A special thank you to each one who made this service special. Your participation and passion coupled with God's power and the Holy Spirit's presence was refreshingly exhilarating!

A DVD of the entire service was recorded live. If you would like a copy of this amazing service you can call our church office @ 812-376-7833 and request one.

Thank you Lord for the wonderful things you've performed through difficult circumstances and an unbelievable tragedy!

To God be all the glory great things HE HAS DONE!

Love to all.
