Begin Now – Pray for Revival

by laurelhillumcUpcoming Event

Today, I and several other pastors gathered and prayed together for our Community Revival to be experienced this September 11 – 13, 2016. We know we live in times where the wages of sin’s division and bitterness are doing untold harm to our nation and to the generations that so need an awakening of grace and life. Join me in praying for that awakening to occur in Varina.

If there is to be at least one place in America that experiences a season of refreshing and renewal from the Lord, let it be here!

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” (Isaiah 55: 6-7)

In Everything Give Thanks

The leaves have begun to turn to their beautiful fall wardrobe and we are blessed to see the handiworkthanks of the Lord reserved for this season of the year. It is time to assess the fruitfulness of our year and to get everything in order and prepared before the winter comes.  How goes your preparation? How deeply rooted is your faith in God? How appreciative are you right now of the ways in which God is at work in your life?

This month is a very important time for us all. It is a time to give thanks. Come see how we might give thanks together by viewing this month’s Newsletter and Calendar.

Remember, Laurel Hill is the host for our Community Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday, November 25th at 7:00 PM. Come share in a wonderful time of praise and hymn singing. The Rev. Sam Grozdanov from Four Mile Creek is our preacher.samfourmilecreek

When a Plan Comes Together!

by laurelhillumcUncategorized

Hannibal Smith of the A-team says, “I love it when a plan comes together!” I do, too and I was a witness to such a coming together this week. Last night, we concluded the first Varina-wide Revival. The Route 5 Corridor pastors sought the Lord together and believed an event needed to occur where we crossed our racial and denominational barriers. This week the walls came tumbling down. I thank all of those who made this week so good. I thank the Lord! I thank my fellow pastors. A big “Thank you” goes out to the music ministers of our various churches who did a terrific job of making it easy to praise the Lord. I thank all of the folks who came with open hearts to receive the word of the Lord and for our preachers who brought us the word: the Dr. Dean John W. Kinney and the Rev. Dale Hathorn.

Through them we were encouraged to watch for what the Lord will do rather than get stuck looking at our problems. We were encouraged to be a person of praise. We were told to run to the well for living water; don’t sit back and wait for someone to bring you some. Get desperate for a deep drink of living water. Don’t hold back; there is an endless supply. Take the lid off of our box and throw away the sin, the doubt, and the fear and freely enjoy a new experience of the Holy Spirit!

If you were there please share your comments and where you discern the Lord leading us next. This is Annie Rutledge with Dale!daleatrevival
