The Words of the Biddle Family |
Our July prayer breakfast was at Fairfax Place, and the organizer and keynote speaker was Dr. Thelma Johnson. About 30 people gathered on this splendid day that the Lord had made. The emcee was Reverend W. Rickey Barksdale from Columbus. After the welcoming message information and an invitation concerning for the Global Peace Festival were presented. Then a brief introduction to Divine Principle was shared, along with an announcement of our next study session. A musical offering by FFWPU young folks drew healthy applause. Scripture reading, a beautiful prayer, and a poem were shared. Elder Edward Walton gave the ACLC membership drive.
Then, after the musical offering and introduction of our speaker by Minister Valerie Lumbus, Dr. Thelma Johnson spoke eloquently on her topic: “Destiny Watch”. She spoke well on the importance of and difference between seeking, knowing, and believing in God. Ultimately we have to know God in our heart of hearts. She encouraged all to educate ourselves well on God’s Word and to faithfully stay the course. The spirit of all was lifted and enlightened by her message and her wonderful heart. “One Family Under God” has been our theme for recent months, yet this was the first time the song “Where Peace Begins” was performed and it was sung very nicely by our blessed children and teens. As the theme of the Global Peace Festival, it helped us all prepare ourselves for meeting the throngs of friends and families on that exciting upcoming day.
Thank you very much everyone, for your support in many ways.
