Sr. Adult Retreat at the Church of God Tabernacle in Mauldin S.C.

This week we spent 3 days in preparation and the execution of the Sr. Adult Retreat at the Church of God Tabernacle in Mauldin S.C. We teamed up with several boards and divisions of the Church of God Church Ministries Department to put on this event. This weekend,1300 Senior adults came and had a great time. There were many musical groups, Preachers , give aways, games and There was even a christian comedian. As always Buckys BBQ was there.  For me the U.S. military veterans service was the most moving, to see so many military veterans being honored at one time was very touching for them and for us.  I pray God will continue to bless them all.

We would like to thank the Church of God Church Ministries Director, his family and staff for a great event. Rev. Eddie Allen and family are the best!! We were blessed to be able to minister and have fun with  over 1300 people from all across the state this year. We consider ourselves very blessed to have been involved with this event for the past 8 years and we are looking forward to at least 8 more years.

Here is a thought for you today. The next time you see a member of our military, past or present just be bold and walk right up to them and tell them thank you!!

"Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Walking in Memory of Bishop Archie Clay...Relay for Life Sumter S.C.

Over the past few months the ministry has been working with the Bethesda Church of God and the Sumter Relay for life folks. We have conducted many many types of fund raising events for the Cancer Society.

We became involved with this event in memory of our ministry founder, Church of God Bishop Archie B. Clay who passed from this life into Heaven this year from cancer.

Our team from the church was over 100 people strong and we had a very good event tonight. As we walked all night long I kept Bishop Clay in the front of my mind. He was a five star General in the Army of God and now he rests in his reward. I consider it an honor to work for this event in his memory.
