Dear Brothers and Sisters,
What a wonderful year the Lord has given us in 2017. He has poured out His blessings more than we could have ever imagined, and taken us to great new heights in the WORD. We have seen Him orchestrate every Message perfectly on time, for each and every service. Although the world knows nothing about it, our Father is speaking to us through His still small voice, whispering His secret plan of His soon Coming. Oh don’t you just love Him for that! The heart of the world is failing for fear, but to His Bride: soon we shall see Him as He is. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
As you all know, this is the season that we set aside for the elections of each office in the church. We are aiming to have the election sometime before the end of the year. As usual, the ballots will be available for you to pick up and carry to your seat prior to service. We will have a designated time during the service for you to fill out your ballot, and will collect them in boxes located at each door immediately after service.
I have contacted the brothers on each board, and thus, the deacon board, the trustee board, assistant pastor, and I would each like to continue at our posts of duty, if it be the Lord’s Perfect Will. We will have a few modifications to the trustee board, however. Our Brother Mike Eplion is physically not well enough to be at each service at this time. As you have noticed, we have asked three other brothers to fill in as trustees on a trial basis: Brother Paul Branham, Brother Mike Daulton, and Brother Greg Foster. I have ask the brothers if they feel they would like to continue on as trustees, in which they have all replied, if it would be the will of the Lord, they would count it an honor to help in any way they could to be of service for the Bride of Christ. Their names will be included on this year’s ballots, and presented before the church for consideration of their full-time positions as trustees.
I just wanted to get this letter to each of you, so you will have ample time to take these things before the Lord in prayer.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for all your attendance at the services, the unparalleled LOVE you always express, and your desire to be more like Him. For I know that the unity and love we have together is pleasing to The Father, and I am only looking forward to even greater things He has in store for us in the future.
May God richly bless you,
Brother Joseph

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I trust you are still rejoicing over your names being on the Lamb’s Book of Life! What a WONDERFUL Message we heard on Sunday. It just blesses my soul so much to know that He never even sees all my mistakes and failures, and placed a wedding band on us before the foundation of the world.
But the word, justified, is though you never done it. Amen. It's not even regarded, at all. How is it done? In God's Book of the Sea of Forgetfulness, your old book and marriage is divorced and dead. It's not even in the memories of God. Amen. You are justified.
PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD. He, the Bridegroom, bore our shame and took our place, and we stand JUSTIFIED before Him. My friends, that truly is unmerited Grace.
I am looking forward to once again going before His Throne tonight with you, to Thank Him and praise Him for all He has done, and what He is DOING for us. I get so excited and blessed when I think about it. I pray our Wednesday night home prayer meetings have also helped bring you even closer to Him, and are helping you to have an even closer personal relationship with Him.
May His sweet Presence be with you tonight.
Bro. Joseph

Brothers & Sisters,
Are you having a great time seeking and knocking? “We know You’re coming and are going to answer us, as that is the only way You’re going to get us off Your Hands.” Hallelujah!!!
What a blessing it is for all of us to come together, calling upon Him every morning, every night, and constantly throughout the day; asking, seeking, fellowshipping, and best of all, RECEIVING, RECOGNIZING, AND ACTING.
As you know, this weekend we will be having our Giving Thanks Dinner for our elderly in the area. It is such a blessing to see our young sisters working alongside our many older sisters, making the food, baking pies, serving, decorating, and getting all the many things ready for an event that many look forward to all year. It’s an opportunity to show them how much we love, respect, and appreciate them and their many years of staying true to this Message.
Because of the many days and hours of preparation before, the day of, and the many hours cleaning afterwards, I have decided to cancel service this Sunday.
The Lord has laid it upon my heart for all of us to come together Sunday at 2:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, in our many different places to hear the Message: 65-0822E “A Thinking Man’s Filter.” Let us prepare ourselves before hearing the Word by seeking, knocking, and fellowshipping with Him, and I ASSURE you, you’ll receive a great blessing. The more you prepare, the greater the blessing.
I can’t wait to be part of the Bride Who is gathering from around the world, listening to the same Message at the same time. I believe God will meet each of us there, and He will bless His Bride as He unites us around His Word and reveals to us that GREAT REVELATION, as He tells us once again that these Messages are for His church only. PRAISE THE LORD.
May The Lord bless each of you richly.
Bro. Joseph
