Great Sunday in Bloomington, California

It is wonderful to be back with Pastor John Deatherage and the Pentecostal Churuch of God in Bloomington, California. We are having fun getting better acquainted with these fine folks. I am sure this is going to be a tremendous week. The weather is perfect, the people are friendly and revival is in the air!

Sunday was full and busy with church and we enjoyed it very much. We had services in Bloomington Sunday morning and Sunday night and service at a branch church in Lytle Creek at 2:00 PM. These folks are hungry to see folks saved and for Christ to make a difference in their lives. I love that! God is honoring them for their desire to reach out and we are blessed to be a part of that.


Sunday Morning



Bro. Jonathon and Sis. Melinda Taylor are attending church here while Bro. Jonathon is working in this area. They normally attend Amazing Grace in Atwater where we are going to be next week. It was great to see them.


We went to the branch church at Lytle Creek Sunday afternoon. The drive up to Lytle Creek is beautiful. I mean absolutely beautiful. We will try to get some pictures and post them later in the week






Back at Bloomington for Sunday evening service.


































Our new friend Freddie has a killer smile!



I love this picture.



I hope you had a great Sunday too. Thanks for reading.

View Out The Front Window October 12, 2014






The drive Saturday from El Mirage, Arizona to Bloomington, California was uneventful but very beautiful. The sun was shining on the desert and the mountains as we drove through. We were oohing and aaahing all day long. It was very nice.



















I really have no explanation for this super gigantic pumpkin on the hill. It was not the only one!





There is no way to capture the beauty of the drive with an iPhone camera catching the reflections in the window.



After about 320 miles we pulled into Bloomington Pentecostal Church of God about 4:30. We stopped once at a Rest Area and once at the state line to top off with diesel. We only needed 1/2 tank but it was 30 cents cheaper in Arizona. 

We were last in Bloomington in October 2010. That was our first visit and it was only for a weekend. We were really impressed with Pastor John Deatherage and his family and church in those two services. They have a tremendous burden for souls. We are so glad to be here again. 

We literally slipped in the back this time but there is a very good reason for that. The front entrance to the church is very tricky to navigate in the BoggsMobile and we had a very tense and exciting day getting out of the exit on the day we were leaving in 2010. You can see pictures and read the story HERE

This time Pastor Deatherage had trimmed the tree in the back so we came in that entrance. Although the approach made it a little tight we pulled in without much trouble at all. Kelly Jo is quite a driver!

They have a nice big concrete parking lot with plenty of room to park and nice hook ups.




Choir practice Saturday evening.




This is our view for the next several days here in Bloomington.

Our the front door.


Out the front window.



We are expecting a super great Sunday and wonderful week of revival too. 

Thanks for reading.
