After District Conference ended we were invited by our dear friends, Steve and Karen Wehrle to go home with them for the weekend. Steve asked my husband to preach the weekend services for him, so...of course he said, "yes"! We always enjoy being with the Wehrle's! They are great friends and awesome Christians. They're always the same and it's just "easy to love them".
Karen told me she had a Sectional Ladies Luncheon to go to on Saturday, so instead of going all the way to Magnolia, then driving back to the luncheon the men went together and I went with Karen. We then got a call from the men that Mark and Diane Green were meeting us at Wal-Mart parking lot, so we pulled off and waited for them. Diane was also on her way to the luncheon, so needless to say, we had a great time of visiting as we travelled! The ladies were surprised to see me and Diane, but seemed really happy that we came. Sis. Roffie Ensey is the Ladies Sectional Director and she had cooked some of the most delicious enchiladas I've ever eaten!
I love having the opportunity to visit the different churches and functions. It's so fulfilling to see what is happening among the churches of our district! God is doing great things for all of us! When you get a glimpse of the harvest that is happening it warms your heart to know your "brothers and sisters" are being blessed by God.Bro. Steve Wehrle recently became the Presbyter for Section 9 and this was Sis. Wehrle's first "sectional minister's wives meeting" to go to as a Presbyter's wife, and she did wonderful in talking to the ladies. She has such a sweet spirit and a passion to see the work of God thrive! I know she's loved by many. You can't help but love her!
The weekend services at Magnolia Apostolic Tabernacle were warmed by God's presence. The choir was incredible, as always. Sis. Wehrle leads them and she is passionate about being 100% for His glory, and you are lifted into His presence as they sing.
At Holiday Youth Convention this year Magnolia's Youth Group received the "Rigdon Cup Award" for their excellence as a youth group. They shared the award with the church on Sunday night, and everyone was so proud of them!
I know Pastor Wehrle was so happy that "his youth group" would be honored in this manner. If you wanted to see a "proud Pastor" (Holy Ghost proud - as my Dad use to say) you should have been there Sunday night! :)
I thank God for Preacher's who are preaching the Truth and "holding fast to the Apostles Doctrine". You can fill it when you're with them, you can see it when you're at their church, and you can enjoy being with them, because you don't have to worry about HAVING TO DEFEND what is Truth! I thank God for preacher's wives, young and older, who love what their husband preaches and example what true righteousness is. I am blessed to call you "FRIEND"!
