CONEWANGO BAPTIST CHURCH - Conewango Valley, New York

Yesterday we had the privilege of being at the Conewango Baptist Church in Conewango Valley, New York.  Pastor Mark Loranger and his family were on vacation and he asked me if I would fill the pulpit for him.  We were at this church for the first time back in March of this year.

We had a good day in church and it was a blessing to see these folks again.  After the morning service we had dinner on the grounds and then an afternoon service.  There was a pretty good crowd that came out and the Lord helped me to preach.

It was good to be back and get to know these folks a little more as we enjoyed the fellowship before and after the services.  This church is in the heart of Amish country about an hour south of our house here in Hamburg.  As I stood behind the pulpit preaching I could look out the front doors of the church and see the horses and buggies going by!

HOME FOR A FEW DAYS and FALL REVIVAL AT OLD TIME BAPTIST CHURCH

We arrived home safely yesterday from Buck Settlement and what a beautiful drive it was seeing the fall leaves.  We stopped by Letchworth State Park and looked around for a little while.  What a great Creator we have!

We will be at our home church for the annual fall revival with Evangelist Don Hardman.  As with every return home we are looking forward to seeing and spending time with family and friends.  We were gone for five weeks on this last trip and were in meetings in New York, Ohio, Indiana and Alabama.

It was good to see everybody last night at Old Time and Bro. Hardman preached a great message on personal revival. The theme for the meeting is "Sent From God".

19 WONDERFUL YEARS!

Just thought I would put a quick post and say that today Stacie and I are celebrating 19 years of marriage! I am so thankful for God giving me such a wonderful lady who loves Him and has a desire to serve Him alongside her husband. The Lord could not have given me any better!

BUCK SETTLEMENT...A final note

As you may remember from my last post, the meeting at Buck Settlement Baptist Church ended Friday. Evangelist Gary Lutrick and myself always stay over and preach on the next Sunday.  We had a great day in church yesterday.  I preached during the Sunday School hour and Bro. Lutrick preached the morning service.  During the invitation one of the teen girls whispered to her friend sitting next to her "Am I saved?" to which her friend responded "I don't know".  She came forward and asked Pastor Ferguson's daughter to come to the altar with her.  She gloriously trusted Christ as Saviour and was born again! It was a blessing to see her countenance instantly change.

Pastor Ferguson asked me to preach the evening service and we had another good time in church.  The people here always treat us so good and we are thankful for their friendship.
