Words cannot do justice to what happened in Macedonia on last night. The Lord showed Himself mighty in our house and through the person of Pastor K.D. Witherspoon. Last night was sponsored by the Ushers, Health care, Men's and Christian Education ministries of our church and they did an awesome job.
Deacon Fred and Sis Prince were wonderful hosts and moved service in a way where Jesus could clearly be seen. Deacon Levi Trotter is a prince among deacons and his Biblical knowledge is amazing so his welcome (bootleg sermon) was off the chain. Brother and Sister Elvis Willis gave a wonderful tribute and to see Elvis at the microphone did me well. I value their ministry to me as unto the Lord as members of my Pastoral Council Team. They meet with me once a month along with other lay members of the church to talk about issues, problems, resolutions and general information of the church to help make me a better Pastor.
Our Fine Arts ministry put on a production called, "A Man For All Seasons", starring Sister Dianne Gammage and she deserves an OSCAR for her role. She was wonderful. The Greater New Vision/New Birth Ministries and the Bethlehem Choirs sounded like angels and set the atmosphere just right for worship.....................................and then,
K.D. Witherspoon got up to preach and by the power of the Holy Spirit, IT WAS BANANAS UP IN MACEDONIA. I am so overwhelmed that first of all, Pastor Witherspoon is my colleague but more importantly he is my friend and I love him as much as one man can love another man and still be a man. He preached I Kings 18: 36-37, "A REASON TO STAND" and destroyed everything in the church including the pulpit, bless him as I needed a new one anyone, Happy anniversary to me!
My church before I came, because of lies, rumors and just ignorance had a less than favorable impression of Pastor Witherspoon but I asked them, "Have you heard the man preach"? When they said no, I realized you just don't know any better so I invited him over last Christmas for my Pastor's Aid day and every since then all I have to do is say Pastor Witherspoon and Macedonia is there. Bethlehem is a blessed church and the city of South Bend is a blessed city to have him working in our midst.
Well off to get dressed and get ready for another blessing, in fact, I have two tonight.

Ray. All you had to say was Witherspoon and I know what and who you are talking about. I am so sorry we could not make it over that night, but I was so glad to be there to celebrate with you on last Sunday.
