Ladies Day - Abundant Life - Crossville







Debra and I left out early today for a special time at the Abundant Life church in Crossville. It was an enthusiastic crowd that was gathered for the day’s activities.

The pastor’s wife, Theresa Tackett and those assisting her in the preparation had obviously spent a lot of time in preparation for the event, complete with several of the men in the church dressed in white shirts and bow ties to serve the ladies.

In the morning session, Sister Grace Love from Old Path Ministries presented her thoughts on church growth, discipline and a variety of other topics. She was a hit with the ladies, as usual. She told me to tell you that DVD’s of the presentation are available for $10.

Susan Bailey, from the Columbia church shared about the extreme love of God in our lives, not only through the good times, but through the bad times as well. Her presentation is also available on DVD. She did an outstanding joy of the presentation, and I would heartily endorse any local church having her to share her testimony, and/or other topics.

Julia Timson led a powerful worship session, as well as ministering through solos. She has a great testimony that is both uplifting and comforting...especially of God’s ability to care for us through the difficult times.

Cindy LaFever ministered through interpretive dance, as did the Abundant Life dance team.

In the concluding session, Debra McKinley brought the final word on the grace of God and the influences of different women in her life.

At the conclusion of the presentation, Debra was presented with a new rocker/glider and ottoman to help her when she becomes a grandmother later this year....its for rocking the little darling to sleep.

I was so blessed to be able to watch the Lord minister through His daughters to one another, especially in the closing prayer time. God certainly is good to us!

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
