Every Sunday Must Be A Soul Reviving Sunday!

Every Sunday is "the most important" Sunday to me. God wants us to come together and be renewed, recharged, and to be blessed in His presence. I know that God has a word for you. And when you get a word from God, it contains the seed of Change, of Hope, of Renewal!

I go to church to experience God, even when I preach. I go to church to be with other other believers who each bring our little flame of faith into one gathering so that when we come together we can ignite others who's flame has all but gone out. When we come together our flame becomes hotter and more powerful just like a bon-fire.

Maybe that is a good analogy for a healthy church. if we come together and ignite a hot enough fire, the heat and the light and the smoke from that fire of love and belief is going to get attention. And hopefully it will attract those who are cold, wet, and hungry for what God has to offer.

Are you hurting?
Have you lost your way?
Does life seem next to impossible to figure out?
Do you need someone to talk with? To Love you?
To help you get through a rough time?

We have a wonderful caring family that gathers every Sunday at 8:45am at 800 North Main Street Edwardsville. Our family is made up of two churches families. Praise Community Fellowship and Immanuel United Methodist. Pastor Jackie of Immanuel Methodist and Pastor Kent of Praise Community Fellowship have decided to make one big family out of two congregations. We have now been together for a year and wonderful things are happening.

Listen, God is real! Jesus Loves You! And there is hope even when things look as if there is no hope. You don't have to live in turmoil and frustration, and anger. Let a family of God surround you with love and hope. It's real!
