Dear Shiloh Family,

     Don’t you just love standing in line?  I know, me neither!  I can’t stand it.  In fact, at amusement parks, we will pay extra money for the Fast Pass to minimize line-time.  We wait in line for fast food, sporting events, concerts, and groceries.  At certain venues, we anxiously await our time for use of the rest room.  It can be so frustrating.

     However, last Sunday, during our Chest of Joash service, I was awed and overcome with joy to see our body of believers standing in line.  As my family and I rose from our time of prayer and dedication, I was overwhelmed with emotion to observe the truest form of worship.  God’s people were smiling, talking, singing, and praising.  Many knelt at the altars, some prayed at the chest, and others did prayer walks.  And believe it or not, both sides of the building were lined with people awaiting their time of dedication and giving.  

     At the end of the day, the chest yielded over $1300 in pledges and over $30,000 in one-time offerings.  More importantly, our campus was dedicated to the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ for a new year. 

     The evening was topped off with the beautiful smiles of our ladies as they served near 100 men at the Man-Church dinner, highlighted by the best Prime Rib I have ever eaten.  Thank you, Jeremy!  After dinner, we worshiped with the Shiloh praise band and a sermon by Ted Gocke.  

 What a wonderful family of believers, and what a mighty God we serve!

     I do not possess adequate vocabulary to express the contents of my heart.  I can only amen the words of the Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth.  

1 Corinthians 1:4-9

4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  NKJV

Words rarely express love that is shared through mutual respect and admonition.           

God bless you all,

Pastor Derrell
