8/12/2010 Well a very interesting meeting tonight, such an important meeting and so many were not able to join us. We had so many things working against us. People sick, people caught at work, choir practice, I bet you name it and it got in the way of this evenings meeting.
No problem though because as you know this is being done to bring the body of Christ together for a day of praise and worship to the Father of us all. So there is no question who is with us in this endeavor and who does not want the event to go on and do what it is meant to do. I say, 'greater is He that is within us, then he that is in this world."
The only thing on the fence at the moment is the newspaper ads. Mark is working with the Christian radio stations and we are trying to get as much free advertisement out there as we can. I will be setting up the paid ads with Times Union, Recorder, and Leader Herald. We all need to pray that this money will be spent wisely to get the word out and the Father uses those ads, (paid for and the free publicty) to "gather" and bring His people to Riverlink park in Amsterdam for one day.
I counted up the different churches involved in this event, and so far we have over 22 different Churches involved in this Gathering. It is a blessing to see the Body of Christ coming together, working together all with one focus, all wanting to put aside doctrine for a day and just show the love we all have for Christ, being one with Him, as the he and the Father are one.
Our next meeting will be our last meeting BEFORE the event. This time we will meet on Sunday the 8/29 at 2 PM at the Riverlink Park. Bring a sack lunch, order at the park restaurant, or grab a bite before the meeting. The maps to it are on the first page along with the GPS Coordinates. We will go over everything and hopefully meet all of those involved and introduce who is working with whom I will show where the performers are parking, where the stages will be and other important items. I really doubt that the meeting will last more than 45 minutes, Oh it could but I do not thing so.
