Saloma Baptist enjoys day of revival and renewal

By Senior Pastor John Chowning
Saloma Baptist Church

Let me thank everyone who participated in, prayed for, and helped with today's day of revival and renewal at Saloma Baptist Church. We had a wonderful worship service this morning. Bro. Christian Naylor delivered a powerful message on revival and renewal using Psalm 51:10-12 as his text and pointed out the importance of God's people to seek ongoing renewal and revival in the Lord.

There were several who came forward for prayer and rededication. And then we finished the service with a time of prayer and dedication at the altar to show the unity of the body of Christ.

Our own Gabrielle Pyles, Christian's fiancee, did a wonderful job leading the worship service, as always.
