Hello Everyone,

I trust my e mail finds you well and walking in the blessings of the Lord. I started my day today on a treadmill taking a little bit of a walk (Marni refers to it as the “dread mill”. LOL) While I was walking I tuned in and listened to a friend of ours who preached a message recently on the Favor of God. As I was listening, I was quick to remember, and then later shared with Marni that I must be God’s Favorite Child. Marni has got to be a close 2nd favorite, for sure.

You know, I like to have fun with this, but the when you think about how faithful God is to each one of us and how much blessing He sends our way, and how much favor He shows on our lives, there is good reason for each one of us to think of ourselves as God’s Favorite Child. He’s a good, good God. He’s been so good to us. He is so worthy of our Praise!

In fact, I’ll give you a little testimony of how good God is and how faithful He is to live up to His word in meeting our needs. This is the short version. We knew several months ago that we’d have some ministry financial needs coming up early spring and we began trusting God to meet those needs months in advance. We even gave Him thanks in advance for doing so. God gave us wisdom on how to plan ahead and today we can Praise God and give Him all the Glory for the needs being met and everything working out with ease and a great deal of peace.

That sounds just like the God we sing about and share about in our services. He’s a Faithful God, a Man of His Word, and He is so good to us.

We had a great service in Coldwater last Saturday night and look forward to returning in March of 2026. We’ll tell you more about that in the future.

We are excited to be at the Aurelius Baptist Church in Mason, Michigan on Sunday Morning, March 23rd at 10am and hope any of you folks that live in that area can join us.

I also want to be sure to invite you to join us on Sunday Night, March 30th at the House of Prayer for the 1st Annual Pastor Dave Cokonougher Memorial Sing that will feature The Thurstons and Legacy 5 from Nashville, TN. I’ve included an attached poster for you to see all of the information.
It’s going to be a great time of gospel music, worship and celebration, and an opportunity to remember and celebrate our lifetime friend and Pastor. Be sure to share this information with your friends and family and let’s pack the place out that night. You don’t want to miss it!

We’re beginning to settle our schedule for 2025 and look forward to being with you. If we’ve not scheduled yet to be at your church or special event, please reach out to me and let’s get something scheduled.

As always, we appreciate you all. Your prayers, support and friendship mean everything to us. God bless you. Have a great rest of your week.

Dave Thurston
The Thurstons
