Beautiful Sunday!

It has been beautiful both in the weather and the spirit of God. Just imagine when we come to the House of God with expectation of God bringing answers, direction, and blessing into our live. Sunday's sermon was about how Adam and Eve were given direction of how to live in the Garden, but in their own knowledge they chose what they perceive or judge as 'good.' Yet we are not to make decisions of our own knowledge but the direction and knowledge of God. Let us look deeply into the Word of God and to listening to the Voice of God to see how He would choose to bless our lives for His Glory!

Sunday night we were honored to have Bishop James Adkins in service with us. He made a wonderful surprise to visit us. As he shared a testimony of God's blessings he stated 'I may not be kicking as high as I use to but I am still kicking.' What a wonderful testimony from a man of God!

Missions Sunday

Sunday was Missions Sunday at the Leesburg Church.

We had a guest speaker - James Clanton, that shared about a wonderful opportunity to see 20,000 to 25,000 people saved in June. It was great to hear the plan not only to see them saved but to see them mature in Christ. For only about $1 a soul we could join in supporting this project. The church gave wonderfully in the offering and some chose to give a pledge to give by the end of April. Bro. James also preached about 'The Goodness of God.' It was a blessed morning - Praise God!

Sunday night was a powerful service. The Spirit of God moved as hands were up worshipping and voices were singing praises to our King. It was a wonderful spirit that we could not leave. The pastor shared a short sermon on the need to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. We are not to have one interaction with the third person on the trinity but a continued relationship with Him to be filled! Many came to the altars to be FILLED yet again. Latter 2 people came to the altar seeking the Holy Ghost. Then a young girl came (6 years old) and got saved as she was praying. Praise God for a great weekend!

Easter Sunday- What does Easter mean to me?

Easter was a great day at the Leesburg Church.

Our Easter program was wonderful. Sister Wanda Ivey did a fantastic job of putting together not only a visual reminder of the death and resurrection of Christ, but also the actual meaning it has to both you and I. Our actors showed us that no matter how good or bad we are in this live, neither will get us to heaven or will forfeit the ability through Christ to get to Heaven one day. It also showed that Jesus desires to walk with us now, not just in Heaven.

We also enjoyed sharing the communion with 'Jesus' serving us 12 at a time. A great thought it what it must have been like to the disciples.

The children sang to us as they do on first Sunday. It was joy to us to see them begin to sing with passion. We had 27 enjoy our Children's Church. With 6 of them receiving Christ- Praise God.

Also to note, we broke the all time record of attendance with 122 (previously 118). Praise the Lord!

BUT the best thing is that in total we had 8 people get saved! (6 from our children, 1 youth, and 1 adult). Praise God!

We ended our day with a huge Easter Egg Hunt. The church property was full of children (and family) looking for eggs. It was such a joy to see. A special thank you to Sister Christina Callantine for putting this together.

Great things are happening at the Leesburg Church!
