DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE?


We probably over use the word "miracle" in American culture. If someone loses 10 pounds we say "it's a miracle!" If a sports team wins a game they were not favored to win, again, we shout "it's a miracle!" If someone who is habitually late for everything, actually makes it on time for something...once again, "it's a miracle!" By definition a "miracle" is Divine intervention into human affairs.


This coming Sunday at Midland Valley Community, we are going to be celebrating a real life miracle, as our MVCA Principal, Mrs. Stephanie Napier, shares the testimony of her beautiful daughter Kensley. As most of our congregation and community are aware, about 18 months ago Kensley was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Over this past year she has had multiple surgeries and treatments, but today she is cancer free! I say "Praise the Lord!"


Stephanie will be sharing Sunday about the subject of "Suffering: Moving From Tragedy to Triumph." You do not want to miss this service. Please invite some friends and family, especially someone who needs a miracle, to these services (8:30AM & 10:50AM). I believe that God is going to use Kensley's testimony in a powerful way to encourage each and everyone of us! I'm told there might be a very special moment at the close of the service...come expecting a miracle!


Love & Prayers,


Pastor David A. Gallimore
