Working on a New Church!

The Dream:
We found a warehouse about a month ago and pastor wanted to make it into a new sanctuary for our church.

The Trial
:

So we got to work. it was pretty fun, first the pastor and ricky built the platform.

(MIND THE SAWDUST)

Then we worked on the walls

I personally didnt have any skill whatsoever in building. Actually only 2 men out of the congregation did really but god blessed our effort. Now we know what to do ^_^. hehe. Anyho the walls got done so we threw up the sheetrock if thats how its spelled. Then we had to fill the holes with mud.

After that, it was Sanding time! that was hilarious. dust was everywhere.

theres conrad running with the sand paper. That was the most dirty job was sanding these walls after we used the mud to cover the screws. I mean - check out samson.

lol. anyho, alot of us had fun with it. Heres sister James first lady.

Belen and becky did the bathrooms. Did an awesome job with the sponge paint.

We did painting of our own in the walls and the sanctuary

THE VICTORY:
Now we are almost finished. Had our first service this sunday which turned out awesome!

This was AFTER our regular service, people came into the sanctuary and begin to praise and dance. It was an awesome service. Ill have more photos of the finished project soon.

Been a while since i updated. Sorry about that guys. Lets see...last weekend was the ministers conference. It was a bit different but it was still cool. Thats David Young, Me and my bro Kevin. Dad also went

We got to hear Bro Davis preach and he was a big inspiration to me as usuall.

If you havent heard this guy preach, you are missing out - he is very wise~ but it was an awesome conference, basically preparing us to go before the board in febuary or later on for our local liscense. They did something differnt where we got to ask all these powerhouse preachers quesitons concerning the ministry.

I coudlnt fit them all in the photo, but theres half. We learned about the Brenhamistes and the Devine Flesh doctrone and how it is affecting many apostolic chuches. Its deep stuff. Sunday was revival Service, i didnt get much photos though becuase i was playing the piano for hours. I litterally couldnt move my wrist for about an hour after service. Buit it was a foot stomping, foot shuffling, or whtever you wanna call it service~ it was awesome!!! you guys missed out lol. The previous youth leaders of the chuch where there visiting. It was good to meet them.

Yesterday i preached- I was a bit scard to considering ive been battling a strong head cold and been in bed the past few days, but god had a big burden on my heart to speak so i did with my eyes closed.

hehe. It was so painful but i think i got my message across. Benny Joe prayed through and forrest, another friend of mines from HS came up for prayer. There is revival waiting to happen at our chuch.

Well last weekend was pretty well. ill give you a brief update. Lets see.....Thursday I went to the Botanical gardens to See a blown Glass exhibition- It was awesome! It was me and my two freinds Nicole And Clent

And also my Brother Kevin

It was awesome! these glass sculptures cost more then my house! but they were so neat looking! Here is a Few Photos! i was so proud of my photography skills since it was dark out.

A Few Other Random Photos:

Clint was our Tour Guide so to speak. He knew more about the art then i did. I jsut wanted to take photos
Saturday i wnt to barnes and nobles with my sister Maria

(yes i take a camera everywhere i go -_- )
It was cool. Ran into a few friends and went to Cafe Mozart which is this awesome Cafe by gwinett mall. I shoudl ahve taken photos there but i was too busy trying to keep cool after spilling a whole cup of hot chocolate on myself. That was a kodak moment lol.

SUNDAY:

My cusin-
Church was awesome! Had bro Watts Speak to us and he is always an awesome speaker as usual.

It was a great service. ad alot of prayer and a baptism!! Samsons Sister

(no she was not being drowned by the paster)
Im so happ, and her mom came up for payer which was also an awesome thing. WAIT!

HOLD THAT NOTE-
Ricky and Becky (our drummer and choir director) had a child on the pastors birthday (19th) and that was awesome!!! Totally forgot about that

doctors told her she couldnt have a child but GOD stepped in and told her she could! amen to that! i wish i rmember his name :'( i feel very bad for that. They still made it to church on sunday with the new member. !!! ok back to what i was saying

Church went on and that was cool. and afterwards we went to Fudruckers ( I think thats how its spelled)

Ricky was a bit exhausted due to the child birth and all so he slept

And the pastor took care of his new grandson

Well taht was my weekend. Today is thanksgiving, i fugred i'd post something and make some type of update. so hope you enjoyed it. Talk to you guys later
