It's been a week since our LBT Homecoming Revival began. We looked forward to it, enjoyed every minute of it, and now we are still seeing and feeling the results of it. As you can see, Bro. Wells and Oscar had an effect on Alyssa - she's been practicing telling Bible stories without moving her lips. She has her eye on a puppet at Mardel's.
The music department ended up doing over 40 specials throughout the week! I am always amazed at the dedication and willingness of our LBT church musicians. We had a different color scheme for each day, so that singers in multiple groups would still coordinate. Three different choirs sang - the adult choir and orchestra, the all men's choir, and the teen choir. Our grade school and jr./sr/ high pianists played during the dinner hour on Tuesday and the college musicians played on Wednesday evening. Pastor led the singing!
Being just a part of so great a meeting was a privilege. The preaching dominated the week and the invitations were the highlight of each service. I couldn't wait to see how the Lord worked in lives, including mine.
My mind is already thinking about great songs for next year! Since we have an idea about what revival is all about we will be more excited as we prepare. This week four people have let me know that they would love to join the special music ministry! Praise the Lord for that!
Here's a photo of the Men of Victory quartet practicing on a Saturday evening for the Homecoming revival. Bro. B.J. Benton, Bro. Travis Smith, Bro. Terry Thompson, and Bro. Pete Londeau (on cell phone, out of town!). These men have been in the LBT music ministry for a combined total of 100 years!
