Praise Report - Lakemoore Church/Morristown

Brother McKinley greetings in the Lord! Congratulations on your beautiful granddaughter!

I wanted to let you know that Lakemoore Church had their 4th annual Fall Festival this past September 16th and it was the best ever! We have a car show, inflatables for the kids, and all kinds of great food items along with home made apple butter and fried apple pies! We also have an auction, and this year the Festival committee set out to solicit large items for donation. In their efforts we got two cars and a pontoon boat and trailer donated along with many other items to auction. We raised a record $16,300.00!!! To God be the Glory!!! Several car dealers have promised that they will give something for next years auction!

Also Lakemoore's Dicken's Christmas open house will be Saturday, November 18th. Dinners and lunches will start on Saturday, November 25th through December 9th. We would like to invite you and your family to come and be with us for this special event. This will be our eleventh year for this special outreach. Please call me at 423-587-5938 or Mrs. Cora Clark at 423-581-1147 for reservations.

God has been blessing Lakemoore we have seen many saved, healed and rededicated, also we have transferred two families from N.C..

God Bless,
Pastor Robert Carpenter

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care...

On my way to a resurrection

Someone asked, "Are you on your way to another funeral?" My answer was, "No, I am on my way to a resurrection." Tonight, after having preached my sister's funeral, two church members funerals and visiting a friend whose brother had passed away, I had a little quiet time in my home office. As I often do, I reach for an old book I've found that some books written long ago can speak to my heart. This time, it was a book published in 1946. This passage from J.B. Chapman touched my heart, hope it does yours too. Victor Hugo exclaimed, "The frosts of seventy winters are on my head, but the springtime of eternal youth is in my heart." "Sometimes we look at the gray hair of a ripening saint, and say, "Old man, the frosts of many winters are on your head." But he answers, "That is not frost. I am getting ready to wear the crown of life, and my hair is taking on tint agreeable to the color scheme." We say, "Ol...
