Happy Thanksgiving Celebration

The Lord moved wonderfully during our Thanksgiving Celebration this past Sunday. Pastor Ron preached on the subject of "In Everything, Give Thanks!" The basic plan of God's will is that we 1. Rejoice Evermore; 2. Pray Unceasingly; 3. Give Thanks Continually!

Sunday evening brought a special time of community fellowship. Our annual Cottondale Community Thanksgiving Service was held at the Cottondale Community Church. There was an overflow crowd of 340. The presence of God was in every word spoken and every song sung. Pastors and churches who participated were: Ben West, Cottondale Christian; Simon Hunter, Benville Baptist; John Hassell, Cottondale United Methodist; Dale Glover, Cottondale Baptist; Mark Potter, Bible Methodist Church; Ron Martin, Cottondale Community Church.

The congregation was blessed by the music of choirs from Cottondale Baptist and Benville Baptist churches. The Cottondale Community Church youth drama team ministered dynamically and Pastor Mark Potter's Thanksgiving message was outstanding.

A wonderfully prepared fellowship dinner followed the evening service. We thank God for His bountiful supply and awesome presence during our community gathering.
