Praise Report - Pine Grove

Great things are happening at Pine Grove. God has been blessing our church in many different ways these last few months. 4 Victory was in concert at Pine Grove on August 20. What a wonderful time of worship.

On September 30, 2006 Pine Grove celebrated Friends and Neighbor Day. We had approximately 325 in attendance. This day was designed for the Pine Grove neighborhood. We had a representative from the sheriffs department discussing the neighborhood watch program. Fun was had by all in attendance.

We have just completed a flooring project in our fellowship hall where we installed ceramic tile.

We had revival October 15-18 with our local ministers. Brother Charlie Erickson, Brother Jimmy Bivens and Pastor Rice were our evangelists for those nights.

Our senior ladies took a trip on our new church van to Muddy Pond for sorghum and to the Russell Stover Candy store. A fun time was had by all.

We recently honored one of our Sunday school teachers for her many years of teaching our children’s class. Sister Geneva Bowman was honored as each one of our children entered the sanctuary presenting her with an apple. What a blessing she has been to our children.

Pine Grove has been busy but God has truly been blessing us for our work in our services. We praise His holy name.

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...
