5 /5 Gwendolyn Carter: A group of young people approached me in our local Walmart last week, asking if I needed prayer. Our family has been through some very devastating events actually this past year, with myself personally sufferring through an extended illness, with multiple hospital visits and living in severe and debilitating pain, on a daily basis. Yes, our family needs prayer and we cant thank you enough for caring enough to ask! After they prayed with me (right there in the fishing tackle department), made sure I truly knew Christ and had prayed the Sinners Prayer before, they then wrapped it all up by handing me a business card and invite to their church! I was VERY IMPRESSED with this courageous display of community outreach and genuine compassion! I have been on visitation and witnessing teams myself, as well as a vocal soloist. I personally know how intimidating some of this can be! Well, we visited OHBC this past Sunday. We have been looking for a church home in this area, as were new to Cartersville. We may have found our new home already from Just ONE Visit!! Awesome service. Excellent Message brought by the Pastor. Beautiful Music led by a Praise Team that really touched my heart! Lovely congregation, very friendly and welcoming, made us feel right at home from the very beginning. Someone actually opened the door for us upon arrival, guided us to a front reception counter to complete a visitation card, then personally led us to the sanctuary. After the service we were even given a nice little bag of goodies for movie night. Nice touch! Extremely thoughtful! Also a plus that Celebrate Recovery Groups meet here! We definitely felt the presence of the Holy Spirit at OHBC, and we will back this coming Sunday! Thank You!!!
