I have not posted in a very long time. They keep telling me they are shutting this down. I don't get on fb much so seeing it's still up I have a question for thise of you who do read this and asking for honest answers. I assume some have gone to church and some have a church. Again appreciate honest answers and pray that you will answer. So many different churchs with those that love Jesus. Most churchs believe a lil different about some things. Do you feel in our city if churchs would set aside some differences and all gather together in a neutral place...not anyone's church. And hold a revival with diff ppl.speaking...music and singing..to truly seek the Lord. To worship him in spirit and truth. Nothing worked up. But let the spirit search us k ow us and draw us closer. That this could lead to an amazing movement of God upon his people who see the need? We truely are living in vicarious times. I really wonder what churchs would be interested and take part in a spirit of humility. Whole heartedly seeking a revival of our souls and salvation for unbelievers. No judging of each other. But loving each other as Christ loved us. Making prayer also a huge part. I truely with all my heart pray I hear from alot of you. Read all this and then think about each aspect. Then comment. Thank you who will comment in advance.

Well what a crazy election season this has been. Many have voted for the candidate they believed in most. This year it's had a huge impact on those that their candidate won or lost. The 1 thing I've said continually to our church is the bible is clear the God puts those that fit his will and his plan he will put in office. Regardless of who you voted for and whoever did win we are commanded to pray for them that we may lead peaceable lives. So which ever side you were on...please pray for our president elect. There are SOOI many important issues in our world today that whoever the election would be has alot on their plate to deal with. But if you are a true real believer in Christ ultimately we need to trust God above all. Love thise that differ from your ideas. Do not let the political world affect your family friends. Much love to all and praying for healing in our great nation.

I posted and it's not being shown that I can see. I received a message that FB was eliminating this page for a community violation. Idk what that could be. I've tried to be truthful but honest about God's word and will
So I pray since I've appealed. So we'll see if this post goes thru. If you see this anyone..please private message me. That way I know if posts are being blocked by FB. I love you all and pray this don't get censored out. Sincerely

What a beautiful day to be up and going to the house of the Lord. Look forward to every service. Because I know my Lord will be there amongst us. It's an unexplainable thing to be a Christian and following the Lord. Just to be in his presense...to feel and know He is there is the most wonderful on this earth. Be it at church..home..work..
driving...it doesn't matter..those are the times that make my life worth living. Hope you all come to know and experience Jesus if you havent

Wow it's been awhile since I have posted. God has given us opportunities to do some work for Him and I'm so thankful.
It's hard to believe tomorrow is Easter. Grass is green and growing...flowers coming up and blooming..trees are blooming. What a beautiful season it is. New life all around us all we have to do is take time to look at God's beautiful creation.
And tomorrow people will gather in church to celebrate Jesus s RESSURECTION. Sometimes we get caught up in it all and forget Easter is all about Christ's raising from the grave. That is what gives all those that love him so hopeful...even in their darkest hours.
Apostle Paul said if we have hope in this life only...we are men most miserable. Nothing in this life will go with any of us when we leave this world.
That is why Easter is so important. Because Jesus paid the debt of sin we owed and could not pay...his death and ressurection enables ALL those who love and believe in Him the promise of eternity in heaven with the God the Father and Jesus his Son. We can't even imagine what all God has in store for those who have faith in Him.
I say thus over and over. The world is a hard place to live and getting worse. But knowing Him and the power of the ressurection gives us hope..faith..and a love for Him some just don't understand.
This Easter get your family up. Find a church. Gather with God's people to celebrate the true meaning of Easter. Who knows you might even meet and find Jesus there. Oh it's worth it all just to know Him.
We all do so much have plans made for Easter with family and friends. Sacrifice a little time for Jesus. He sacrificed it all for you.
Praying each of you have a blessed Easter. And somehow if you don't know Him you will meet Him. I can promise this...when you do..you will NEVER forget Him
It's the most precious thing to possess in this life.
Love you all and be blessed this Easter with the truth. It will bless your heart and life.

As Christmas Day falls on Sun. this year we will be celebrating Christ's birth this Sun. the 18th for those that have plans Christmas morning.
I miss the days where we did the Christmas programs. But this year as we gather to celebrate Christ's birth..I pray that some of you who do not have a church would come join us.
Of all the Holidays we take time to celebrate ..Christmas is by far the most important. Of all the beautiful babies born..this 1 baby stands out above them all. The Lord our God sent His Son to live among us. To experience this life as we do but without sin. His birth was more than a miracle. It is the one and only hope in this life and world.
We understand how busy all will be next week end. But this week end I hope you'd take a small amount of time out to join us in worshipping our Lord and His arrival to earth.
Hope to see you and your family Sunday. We will be giving out gift bags so please let us know if you plan on coming and with how many so we can be sure how many gift bags we need.
I want to leave this with you. Jesus has done so much for you. What will you do for Him? What gift will you bring Him this year as we all celebrate His birth?
Love and prayers

Such a busy time of year for so many. Yet for some it brings sorrow. But whatever your situation is please do not forget what we are truly celebrating.
A baby born that would bring hope to the hopeless. Healing to the sick. Love to thise who feel unloved. And most of all the gift of salvation and all that comes to those who have faith in Jesus..this baby who was born to pay our debt for sin.
So very much to be thankful for. Don't let yourself get so busy that you forget this most important reason for this season.
Be kind..loving..forgiving to all. That itself brings a joy and peace that no other gift can give.
Pray everyone has a wonderful blessed season of celebrating His birth.
Be safe. Love and prayers for you all. Debi Garner

Haven't posted in a long while. I cant explain all that has been going on..except been a hard journey now.
My heart is so heavy this morning. As I think about our little church...it's a miracle the doors have stayed open. The burden of my heart is what is it gonna take to get ppl to come..be a part of something wonderdul..a family...Gods children. If you are looking for a fancy modern church ..that's not us. Just an older building that keeps us warm..dry where we can gather to worship God and grow in HIM.
If you are looking for alot of programs..that's not us. Not that I'm saying these are wrong..but our sole purpose is God His word and the Gospel of Jesus that transforms life's.
I've talked to several who say somethings missing in their lives. That say God is doing something big. You can feel the changes over the last few years. Others have said they need to find God and need to find a church. But yet they just are so busy and don't get around to it.
Idk what God's full plan is. I don't claim to know it all and never will. I DO know each of us are on a journey thru this life. Thus life with all its wonderful blessings as well as troubles trials hard times. Jesus and following Him is the 1 and only answer.
Idk what its gonna take to get people to put theirs and their families eternal souls 1rst. But God does.
If you read this post and see yourself..don't waste anymore time. Be it our church or another. Be it on your knees or alone in a car. Find Jesus and follow him. He said I am the way..the truth..and the life. No man can see the Father except thru HIM.
I pray that this speaks to even 1 soul. That even just 1 would consider CHRIST and their salvation. 1 thing I can absolutely guarantee is that if you dont..1 day when it's to late you will and would give anything to change your decisions. They affect not only you but all those you love.
Take a moment and think about your eternity. We all have 1.
Much love and prayers
