Life At Life House This Summer… (Ramblings)
We are already getting geared up to make the most of this summer at Life House. We held a Prayer Walk yesterday and covered the perimeters of College Hill. We had the blessing of meeting people, praying for people and inviting them to come to Life House for worship.
We begin 7th – 12th Grade Day Camp tomorrow morning. It will be held Monday – Friday and we are hoping for a good week of teaching, ministry and fun. If you know any 7th – 12th grade students who might enjoy coming – invite them. Also, if you are an adult and wanna come join us – come on!
We have several events planned for this summer and believe God is going to use them to help us reach souls for Him. More on those later!!
The services today were a blessing too. Although we had a few of our regulars out on vacation and etc. we were blessed to see six new faces in our service. All of them seemed to enjoy the service and it’s our prayer that they will come worship with us again. God is putting together a dedicated, evangelistic group of people that have the same heart and desire: to reach souls no matter what color, age or economic status. The faithful members of Life House have the same love and share a desire to reach out. Sure we have a few members (like all churches) that started out with a big bang and have now fallen by the wayside. I thank God for those members who don’t just talk a good talk but who are faithful and dedicated. As a pastor it’s awesome to have people you can count on. Anyone can talk but it takes dedication and commitment to put words into action. At Life House you MUST have a servants heart if you are going to be able to help us accomplish the task we’ve been called to do.
I’ve been asked: What are your present needs? Answer:
1. Pray for the present members of Life House. Pray that they will ALL be faithful, dedicated and have a servants heart.
2. Pray that God will send us 10 (couples or singles doesn’t matter – just a total of at least 10) solid, grounded, faithful workers to join with us to reach souls.
3. Pray that God would open the door for a solid, grounded, doctrinally sound, black pastor to join the staff as one of the associate pastors. Also, for a black youth pastor who would serve with a white youth pastor as co- youth pastor’s. We also are praying for a black man/woman to join us as co-worship leader. Pray for God’s leadership and direction in these matters.
4. Pray for souls to be saved, lives to be changed, homes to be mended, marriages restored, addictions broken and much more in our area.
5. Pray for wisdom for me as pastor as I try to lead this great church. It’s a great responsibility to be called to lead a new church and help it get established. I want us to be all that God desires for us to be as a church.
God has been sooo good to Life House and I can’t praise Him enough for all He’s done. Pray for us – come see us and most of all – keep on loving and serving Jesus ’till He comes! Pastor James

Hey Danielle – THANKS so much for coming to Life House! It was great to have you all with us. I REALLY do hope you enjoyed the service and will come back soon. Life House is a brand new church that has one purpose and that is to reach people for the kingdom of God with the good news about Jesus! We love ALL people and want to bring them into God’s family. Can’t wait to see you all next Sunday! Spread the Word and help us grow!
