April is here and we are really excited about the "showers" of blessing we are counting on!

Yesterday, I started my Bible Study at Journey's Crossing, adult home in Elkton, VA.  We had about 11 residents to attend and they were so hungry and special.  One of the residents played the piano and helped me lead some old hymns.  It was precious!  Got to see Sis. Lola Tappy, one of our own.  She was elated.  I spoke on "True Riches".  We had a wonderful time and then ended with praying for a very ill resident.  Thanks, Lord, for one more opportunity to pour into people's lives!!

The Easter play was a great success - why?  because it touched the lives of many.  We ran out of the traditional communion cups, but just like Jesus, He had impressed  on me to take grapes...so when the grape juice ran out, some took a grape instead.  Where God guides, He provides!!!  We had such an overwhelming response to our Risen Lord!

My grandson, Silas, was recently saying his blessing - "Jesus, thank you for this wonderful food and thank you for rising from the tomb!"  Oh, my goodness!  How precious!  We have sooo much to be thankful for!

And now, as we are approaching the time...

Our "Great Reawakening" with Dr. Ron Phillips, and his wife, Paulette, will be Monday through Wednesday, April 19-21!  We are expecting the community churches to rally and be blessed during this great series of services.  Each night services will start at 7:00 P.M.  Wednesday, the 21st will be a special day with a continental breakfast for Pastors and spouses, leaders, etc. from 9-10 A.M. followed by a special session with Dr. Phillips at 10 A.M.  That afternoon, we will have a Blissful Afternoon Tea with Paulette Phillips at 2:30 P.M.  All ladies are invited but we MUST have an RSVP by April 15!  We will be blessed by Paulette while enjoying tea, sweets, and sandwiches together!  

On Monday night, we will be blessed with the special singing of Rev. Kirk Wade, Tuesday with Restoration from Solid Rock Church, Wednesday with Rev. Doug Gochenour.  In addition, during the Wednesday morning Pastors and spouses, leaders, etc. session at 10 A.M., Rev. Tony Bates will be sharing special music.  He blessed us so last year!  

PLEASE MAKE THIS SERIES OF SERVICES YOUR AGENDA!  YOU WILL BE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE, I PROMISE!  AND YES, I AM SHOUTING!! IT IS SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT!
