Now that I think about it, Brother Cornwell has probably already given you guys a run down on the meeting... But oh well. I didn't get very many pictures, which I strongly regret.
that's Elvis BTW in a welcome center in Memphis^^^
us girls in the car ^^
Ellie thought he was big stuff walking around with us girls^^I just got home from the BEST meeting ever!! Friday afternoon about 26 of us from Morgan City went to Forrest City, Arkansas for their annual Youth Jubilee.
It was AMAZING. We (Leah's car) got there right before preaching Friday night, and Brother Develle Lloyd preached. After that we went to taco bell at about 11:30p.m and had some good Church of God fellowship with the saints.
Saturday morning Brother Cornwell preached on planting the right seeds. Brother Ricky Dukes preached the message Saturday night on "Fatal Attractions" which was awesome because I had never heard him preach before.
Sunday morning's service was like none other I have ever been in. The chairman called on Bro. Curtis (you know with the police record a mile long) to give his testimony. Then Jeremy stood up and gave his testimony on how he didn't have to go out and get a police record. He wanted the young people to know what God can do for you if you get saved early on in life. Bro. Andre (I'm not sure where he is from) stood up and said that he was that other one. The one that had been raised in church and left.

So Brother Jennings got up and asked if we knew what God had just done. He had given the unsaved NO excuse not to be saved. The chairman (I regret that I'm not sure just who he is) is a correctional officer and started talking to the males. He said that he was very concerned for the young males. Brother Jennings then had an alter call and about 13 people stood up and went to be saved!
After that we had more testimonies and then Brother Moncrief preached on how its "our time to shine". Which was very encouraging.
During this time God told Brother Curtis to go talk to a young man in the side wing. He didn't even know this guy but he felt like he needed to go talk to him. This was during church so we didn't find this out until after preaching... But the young man got saved during the message! Then after church was over and done with and everyone was leaving, ANOTHER lady got saved!
God was really working in this meeting. There were visitors that were results of the street meeting, there and that was a blessing.
Another thing that was awesome was the Praise. There were times that you couldn't even tell that the choir was singing (which is amazing cause they were super loud) :-) because there were so much praise going on. It made me think of Bro. Cornwell and how he has been talking about praise.
This meeting gave me a determination to stay saved and was very much of an encouragement that i think we all needed.
I can't wait for Wednesday nights service! I feel like Bro. Curtis when he said "My cup is full saints"!!
