Another Blessed Sunday

CUPC is certainly reaping a harvest! Today was another most incredible day. While our van route is in a bit of a summer slump due to many of our children spending time away with relatives we are still enjoying a harvest.

CUPC is home to a dynamic ABEKA school, Conroe Christian School. Unlike some UPC schools in the greater Houston area we welcome non-churched students. Since area pentecostal students attend CCS we are MOST careful to never encourage these students to be apart of CUPC, however, our teachers and staff are very sensitive to the spiritual needs of the unchurched families. This summer Redonia and Pat Haley, our summer teachers, have invited one of the families to church. Our staff was excited to have Esther and Jose visit last Sunday. This morning they were back and both received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It was awesome seeing both Pat and Redonia praying with Esther. This fine family was back in service tonight and brought family with them. Jose's Mom prayed tonight. One of Esther's cousins, Brenda, received the Holy Ghost, too. I enjoyed listening to Redonia help this sweet girl pray until she yielded from English to Spanish to speaking in tongues. Our vision is that every department MUST be participants in revival. Thank the Lord CCS has caught the vision!

Our music department has gone through some leadership changes the past couple of years. It seems the very heart of our church has been targeted by various storms. We were not surprised to see the music ministry a major part of the storm. Worship is such a key to deliverance in people's lives and Satan does everything he can to hinder. I can honestly say though storms have raged victory has prevailed. Some have stretched and stretched and many have had to be most flexible. Tonight Calah assumed a new role as choir director. What an outstanding job she did in promoting worship as she directed. I know Calah probably felt super stretched but she did a remarkable job! Calah comes from Royalwood UPC which is home to a dynamic music department under the direction of Jeanna Macey, pastor's wife. Calah was a very vital part of the praise team and choir. I know my friend, Jeanna, would be proud of Calah.

I can hardly wait for next weekend to witness another outpouring of the Spirit! Additionally, I can hardly wait to observe more people yield to the various talents and gifts that God has blessed them with. It is truly a blessing to be blessed to serve. Last week I ended my "Blessed Sunday" post with the title to the song "Serving God is Beautiful". I forgot that one of my California friends, Ronda Hurst, wrote this beautiful song. It is indeed beautiful to serve Him.

May each of you enjoy a blessed week. I know from time to time some of us go through a storm while others enjoy a rainbow. If, my friend, you are enduring a storm this week know it is just the water to promote the growth for your next harvest. Keep serving God! Blessings...
