OH My! I was wondering what model guitar that was in the pic. Hopefully it was a prop and not *REAL*.
It was real (or should I say real used) ABC/RDF Media bought it locally for $100.00

Interesting - how did you come to attend a CMA church? We attended UPC for many years, over past couple years we've attended a CMA church for about a year and are now in a Victory church. We moved to this area a couple years ago and have been looking for our church "home".....
TopDog,
I was UPC from the time I was about 14 years old (at that point I got kicked out the Swanton Missionary Church for going to First Apostolic Church in Toledo on Sunday evenings). I stayed UPC until I met my husband and we got married (when I was 30! GASP!) I knew there was no way in the world that Walt would consider a Pentecostal Church of any sort. He's very reserved so it would made him very, very uncomfortable. About that time some things had happened in the local UPC church as well that made it easy for me to decide to leave and start attending church with Walt.
We married and went to the local Methodist Church for the next almost 20 years. That was a HUGE stretch for me and I learned a great deal over those years. Not about doctrine or things like that. What I learned, I learned from God.
After all those years in the Methodist church, they sent us a pastor who was doing some VERY crooked things! Seriously! I was in the position of Administrative Council Chairperson and my husband was on the Board of Trustees. We finally decided that these were things that we did NOT want to be implicated in the middle of. So we left. It was not an easy decision, especially for Walt, but we've never been sorry we did it
We decided to start visiting some churches in our town and just see where we fit in the best and felt the Lord wanted us. The first church we visited was the CMA church and then we never went to any other. We fell in love with the people that first Sunday and put down firm roots in short, short order. We've been there for about 5 years now. They recently learned they are getting a new pastor at the Methodist church. We've had people calling to ask if we would come back now. But our answer is a very firm "no". We loved it that first Sunday and we love it still.
So that's the long and short of it. By the way, there are NO Pentecostal churches in our town. The nearest church would be a half hour drive away from us. I want my boys involved in their church youth group. That would be much too far away for them to be involved. And besides, the UPC church I'm talking about has absolutely no youth
how about a report? I helped start the Pentecostal Student Union in the early 1990s with Paul Hennigan. (guess that was a different version than yalls.)

Hello, I live in Southeast Texas and I am a former Mormon. I was born and raised in the Mormon church. Left the Mormon church ended up a drug head and an alcoholic. Met a guy that was a UPC backslider. Lived in sin for about 7 years when I found out I was pregnant. I knew I didn't want my child to have the life I ended up in. So when I starting talking about church he said there was no way him or our baby was going to be a Mormon, so we ended up at Bro. Doug White's church in SETx. in 2005 when our little girl turned 8 mths. old. After going about 5 times he prayed back through and 1 week later when Hurricane Rita hit I got the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus' name. We immediately got married and we still attend church faithfully. My husband is a young minister in the church. And I also have a wonderful son! God is great!!!

I grew up in DeRidder First Church. I went to McNeese 92-95 and have kept in touch. What you guys are doing at McNeese is awesome! I dont think there is anything like it anywhere else in the UPCI.
