We
at Timmons Temple Church Of God In Christ are
pleased to inform you that we are still continuing
to lift up a standard for the Lord here in Springfield,
Missouri. The Lord is blessing our church as
we are regularly getting new members and on-lookers
who will soon become new members. Also, through
prayer and trust in God, captivity is captivated,
those bound and bruised are being liberated,
sicknesses are eradicated, addictions are eliminated,
Jesus Christ is emulated, and Jehovah God is
celebrated. We are proud to carry on the rich
tradition of Timmons Temple. This church has
stood as a beacon of light and hope for many
people for more than 80 years. For this church,
there has been prosperous good times, and there
has been confusing tumultuous times, but through
it all, the light has never gone out, and the
church’s doors have never been closed.
And today we can say that the presence of the
Lord still reigns within these hallowed walls,
and the traditions upon which this church was
founded, continue to be the rock upon which
it stands. As such, God continues to bless us,
and we continue to offer him thunderous sacrifices
of praise.
Sister
Appleby and I departed from Durham, North Carolina,
and came to Springfield in February 2003. We
are so pleased to be residents of this community,
and even more excited to be members of the Timmons
Temple family. We may have missed the spirit-filled
glorious days of this church’s past, but
we are certainly enjoying the glorious good
times we are having now. If you don’t
believe me, I invite you to come and just try
to sit still through our Sunday morning worship,
or if you don’t want to come in, just
bring a lawn chair and set out on the front
step. I think you will find that whether you’re
sitting inside or outside, the power of God
will reach out and touch you, and begin to fix
whatever is broken in your life. We have come
to trust and depend on God so much until our
adopted motto is “God Can, and God Will.”
We know that he can do anything, in any situation,
under any circumstance, and we believe that
he will do what we ask if we only believe. We
know that we serve an awesome God. Again, we
just want to thank you for your prayers, your
presence, and your support. We pray God’s
blessings upon each of you, and upon the Timmons
Temple family.
Your
Servants in The Lord,
T.
