SCC Anniversary

We had a wonderful day yesterday as we celebrated the 54th anniversafy of Sonbright Christian Center. God has been doing some wonderful things around here! It was such a joy to receive Sister Althea Jones into membership of our fellowship. Althea grew up around this church--her parents, Fred and Flarce Northrup, were charter members--yet for many years she was away from the Lord. Several months ago she gave her heart to the Lord and was baptized, and it has been so very exciting to see her (and her husband, Dennis Ray) growing in the Lord. I am convinced that the vision of those who fought so hard to start and build this church has not died!

As always, it was also a pleasure to have the VanNorstran family with as our musical/singing guests! It is so refreshing to have people who don't sing just because they can. This family ministered in the Spirit today!

We had a number of visitors yesterday, some of whom shared that they will be coming back on a regular basis. Other visitors were from out of our area and we were certainly pleased to have them with us to worship our God together, and to celebrate the good things He has done...and is doing!

May the Lord bless you and keep you strong as you continue to "fight the good fight of faith..." (1 Timothy 6:12).
