The Gathering Praise Experience on February 8th

Thanks to all who made the praise experience a W.O.W. (Worthy of Worship) night for Jesus Christ! What a tremendous move of God occurred on Friday night at “The Gathering." It certainly proved true that "When the praises go up, the blessings come down." It's been a while since I've experienced such a diverse group of people enjoying such an eclectic offering of praise.
Praise at Nu Faith Community included a Christian rapper (R.A.G.E. Ministries), soulful R&B flavor (SoulFruit), a dynamic group of "Cronk" praise dancers, and a powerful rendition of the Lord's prayer by Cynthia Smith. Both young and old gave way to the spirit as the energy moved through us all. It was no doubt in my mind that "Jesus was in the house!"

And, as if the various artists weren't a treat in themselves, Pastor Jacqui blessed our socks off with a powerful, relevant, mini-sermon on "Keeping it REAL!." However, blessings were not limited to the praise because a young man committed his life to serve Jesus Christ. Also, canned goods were collected and donated to Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM).

Nu Faith Community gave away some awesome door prizes, including a Starbucks gift set, CD’s and Smokey Norful concert tickets.

Our lives were changed through praise - - God sure is good!
