Busy, busy, busy.... definitely one way to describe this entire last weekend of March around CFWC. On Saturday, our Men's Ministry Dept held it's annual conference- This year, the theme was "Sentry on Guard", focusing in on how men of God are set as a watchman, at the gate of their home. The word "Sentry" means - one who stands guard or watches against some intrusion or unwelcome activity. The days we live in are evil, with the attack on the family ranking high at the top of Satan's priority list. Godly men who courageously protect what God has entrusted to them, please the heart of God. We have a whole group of such men at CFWC - "Kingdom Warriors"! Thank you to all those who helped put the conference together, it was a great day, of great teaching, preaching, and challenging... great fellowship, great food, and great friends.
Pastor Vicki brought the Word on Sunday morning, and spoke on the subject of "Passing Through". Well-known for her illustrated messages, the crowd was curious about a sort of "arch way", shrouded with a black cloth. When she began to unfold the message, folks slowly started to figure out the purpose of the prop behind her. Psalms 66:10-12 was her text, a scripture of victory on the other side of the battle! At the closing of the message, Pastor Vicki and Pastor both stood on "the victory side" of the arch way, as those who had been going through a battle, passed through as our Pastors prayed for and ministered to them. What a weekend of encouragement and celebrating imminent victory!
