Milan's Musings
by Milan Dekich, State Pastor
 
Campmeeting is coming soon!
What is new? 

New Venue - Riverchase Community Church

New Format - One Day Long

Same - Fellowship, singing, outreach, Bible study, inspiring worship, and powerful preaching.

Coming back this year is Joseph's Coat Offering.  This offering was a tradition for campmeeting for many years.  Everyone enjoyed seeing the pastors or congregational representatives bring up the offering from their church.  This offering supports the many ministries of the General Assembly of the Church of God in Alabama from youth camp to church training.  Pastors, get your Joseph's Coat ready and, more importantly, get your offering ready for the Joseph's Coat Offering at Campmeeting.  (click for brochure)
Penton Church of God and the General Assembly of the Church of God in Alabama say farewell to Pastor Michael Campbell.  Michael has faithfully served the Penton Church of God for 13 years. He has served the General Assembly in several state offices.   Most recently he served as chairperson of Kingdom Builders.

Michael has been called to serve Royal Chapel Church of God in Hickory North Carolina. Penton and the General Assembly will miss Michael’s leadership and servant’s heart. Our prayers go with  Michael as he follows the leading of the Spirit to new service.
 
Patrick “Pat” Williams, Sr., 63, of Rock Creek, AL, died unexpectedly on August 12th, 2023. The loss of Pat leaves a void that is deeply felt by family members, friends, and his Rock Creek Church of God family.  

Pat lived a full life. Having graduated from Hueytown High School and Auburn University with a degree in Building Science, he worked in the construction industry for over 40 years. He enjoyed sports both as a player and a coach. Pat loved building things, working in the garden, and doing yard work. There was nothing that Pat couldn't fix.

He truly loved the Lord and actively lived out his faith in service through his church, mission trips to Guatemala, and in every part of his life.
 

Pastor Reggie Hill - Montgomery
