Exciting Easter Week At DRPC

 Hey Friends,

This will be a busy but grand week. There is lots of activity at our church. You are invited to join us at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, located at 3201 Dryden Road in Moraine, Ohio. 

Tonight, Tuesday, at 7:30, Bro. Trey Brock and his family from Oklahoma will minister. We love Bro. Trey, Sis. Allison, Elli and Ivy!

There will also be church on Thursday and Friday nights. Bro. Lynn Head from Georgia is scheduled to preach. I know we will have great services. 

On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate our risen Savior! Dryden Road Pentecostal Church will hold services at 10AM and 6PM. 

I just thought I would invite my friends to church. Visitors are welcome at DRPC! God has been blessing us, helping us and changing lives! I am expecting great things to happen this week!

See you tomorrow.

Weekend Recap 4/14/25

Hey Friends,

Thank you for dropping by to visit us! I hope you are doing good today! Well, here is a recap of a busy weekend. 

Mom mowed the yard for the first time this season. It had been too wet to mow for a while, but she caught it dry enough for a trim this weekend. 

Uncle Tommy came and did the weed eating for us. We appreciate his help immensely. 

I had a fun girl's night with some of my church friends on Friday evening. We all brought food on a board or tray. I brought snacks from Bucee’s. We played games, laughed and felllowshipped.

Mom went to dinner with Renae, Jacqueline and Albany Coffman. She had fun catching up with them! Looks like Albany enjoyed the ride!

Here is Mom’s food from Cheddars, and she said it was delicious. 

Saturday afternoon Gran and Papaw came to see us. We enjoyed visits to Alcapulco and Sams Club.

Sunday was filled with two services at DRPC. Also, with food and fellowship with friends. 

This weekend is a wrap. I hope you enjoyed the highlights. It was a good weekend. We are looking forward to a great week ahead.

See you later!

Sunday Sanity 4/12/25

Hey Friends,

Happy Palm Sunday. This is always a special week for me. I like to take time to reflect on the events leading up to Resurrection Sunday!

As Christians, we have a huge reason to celebrate. Our Savior is risen! We should remember and celebrate that every day! This is just a special season that we set aside to focus on His love and sacrifice for us. 

Today’s Sunday Sanity comes from our Pastor at DRPC. Last Sunday night, he preached from Psalms 85:6. This was a great message on revival and our need for personal revival now. 

“Wilt thou not revive us again: That thy people may rejoice in thee?” 

Psalm 85:6 KJV

Here is something Bro. Bennie said during his message. This statement stood out to me. I thought I would share it with you today.

“God is not a God of used to be! He don't mind you remembering, but He don't want you to live there.”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland-

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, Moraine, Ohio 

Thanks for spending a moment of your Sunday with me. I hope you have a great day! Please join me here again tomorrow.

Home Again

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday started dark and early for us. It was a travel day, and we were at the Oklahoma City airport by 5:30 AM to catch a 7 AM flight.

Thanks to Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan, they were a great host for the weekend! Bro. Bruce Mayhan took this pic at the airport yesterday. It was much too early for pictures.

The Lord, once again granted us traveling mercies, and we are so very grateful! Due to weather conditions, both flights were extremely bumpy!

Flight number one was from Oklahoma City to Atlanta, Georgia. I was able to catch a little bit of shut eye on that flight. that was much needed!

We had a layover in Atlanta. The weather caused us to be grounded there a little longer than planned. We made it out of there safely, an hour behind schedule.

By the time we reached Dayton, Ohio it was 4:15 PM when the plane landed. Once we left the airport, it was time to head to church at DRPC. 

I am glad that we were able to make it for church. It was wonderful to be in service with our church family. Our Pastor preached a wonderful message on revival!

After church, we were in need of dinner. We found ourselves at Dolly's again. if you missed my post about Dolly's, go back to Friday’s post. 

Several other church members had the same idea, and it was great to visit with all of them!

Now as I type this, my eyes are growing heavy. It is already Monday morning, and I am ready for a long nap in my comfy bed.

Thank you for reading! I will be right back here tomorrow! See you then.

Sunday Sanity 3/30/25

Hey Friends,

Here is today’s Sunday Sanity. I gleaned this word of encouragment last Sunday Morning. Bro. J.R. Alexander was preaching at DRPC. I thought it was a good sanity to share with you today.

“It’s gonna be alright, I'm not minimizing your situation I'm magnifying our God!”

Pastor J.R. Alexander

Moss Point, Mississippi

Thank you for reading. I will see you tomorrow.

Weekend Wrap Up 3/24/25

Hey Friends,

Can you believe the pace at which we are zooming through March? To me, it seems like the month just began yesterday, and now we are in the last week of it.

We had a fabulous weekend full of family, friends, fun and church! I think that’s an excellent recipe for a wonderful weekend! 

Let’s rewind to Thursday. We met our wonderful family/friends, Pastor E.J., Sis. Lacey, Reese, Carter, Hudson and Stella Lamb for lunch. 

Most of you will not be surprised at our lunch of choice. Yes, we went to Acapulco, which was as good as ever! The fellowship was even better! We love this family so dearly. I always leave feeling refreshed when we spend time with them! They have a way of cheering me up!

It was the first day of spring, but the weather did not get the notification. It was quite cold. I even saw a few snowflakes! That did not stop me from enjoying a free ice cream to celebrate the first day of spring at our local Dairy Queen. We enjoyed it from me inside of our heated car with the heated seats on! It sure tasted good

As I mentioned in Yesterday’s Sunday Sanity post, we went to our home church at DRPC. bro. Andrew Blevins preached, and it was great to be in service with our church family!

On Friday, I was not hitting on all eight cylinders; my head was throbbing. I chose to spend the day at home resting. Mom went to visit some of our family that evening, and she did not take any pictures. 

Saturday morning we visited with some more of our family. It was great to see all of them! Thankfully, I felt much better. 

Saturday night found us a little less than an hour away. I found that the Martins were going to be in concert. We have always enjoyed the Martins music for many many years. They were just as good as ever! I will share more about that in a later post. 

Sunday morning we were back at DRPC. Our Pastor taught a wonderful Sunday school lesson. 

I snapped a few photos during service. I could not pass up an opportunity to document my cousin Katie behind the Bible stand. 😂

The kids choir. 

Then we were blessed to hear Bro. J.R. Alexander preach. It was great to have Bro. J.R. And Sis. Teresa home visiting. 

Sunday evening, we were in service at The Anchor of Hope in Lebanon, Ohio.

we love our friends at The Anchor so much! 

A few months ago, Pastor E.J. Lamb asked us to come and sing and Uncle Danny Morgan to preach. The Lord blessed us with a wonderful service! Uncle Danny preached really really good! Mom and I were blessed to be part of the service!

I will wrap up this post with my pictures from Sunday night. See you all tomorrow!
