What is Revival?

Sunday begins the spring revival for our church. What does revival mean? These are some of the definitions I found. "A time of reawakened interest in religion". "A meeting or series of meetings for the purpose of reawakening religious faith, often characterized by impassioned preaching and public testimony".

Revival is a time of reviving the soul of a Christian. A time to draw closer to God and become awakened in faith. Everyone needs a revival. It helps to replenish the soul of things that have become displaced in the "busyness" of life. A time to stop and remember what Christ has done for us. No greater gift can be given to us than has already been given. The gift of eternity with Christ.

Services begin on Sunday (at regular times:11am and 6pm). The services for Monday-Wednesday begin at 7pm. Meals will be provided before the services at a cost of $5.00 per person. Allow God to bring revival to our church!

May 3rd is designated the "National Day of Prayer". A special service is being held at the North High football field. In case of inclement weather.......the service may be held in the high school gym. The service begins at 7pm. A lot of exciting things will be taking place during this time. Our country needs prayer. Our community, pastor, friends, family, and especially the military needs our prayers. Everyone is invited to attend! (Our pastor has an article in the Times and Democrat today regarding the "National Day of Prayer". Take a few minutes to check it out!).

The youth will be having their "Big Day Out" Sat., April 28th. They will depart from the church at 10am and will return at 5pm. $20.00 and a picnic lunch are needed.

Due to revival, craft night will not be held next Tues, May 1st. It will resume its normal time Tues., May 8th. All ladies are invited to attend.

I hope everyone will have a nice weekend. Until next time, take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
