Brethren,

This past weekend, the Ebenezer Fellowship convened with Bay Springs PBC hosting the meeting in the Cool Springs PBC meetinghouse.  Even though Bay Springs is currently without a pastor (as are 3 other churches in our fellowship), the Lord richly blessed them as excellent hosts throughout the weekend.  Indeed, the Lord smiled upon all of us from start to finish.  Words fail to express the fulness of the Spirit, and mighty power that was felt throughout the services.  As the forefathers and sages of old in the faith used to say, "Heaven came down."  We thank Him for dwelling amongst us, and we pray that He continue to do so for many days to come.

Our thanks go out to all our friends and kindred in Christ who came to meet with us.  While our hearts were knit together while engaged together, we pray that they are still knit though we have had to part once more.  For all the prayers that were obviously offered up on our behalf, we thank each one that was mindful to pray for us.  Thank you; thank you all.  Most of all, thank the Lord for His abundant mercy.

In Hope,

Bro Philip

Elder Garry Hall (Guest Moderator for Bay Springs PBC who is currently without a pastor)
