 Guyton, Ga-- On January 7, 2023 Royal Temple Holiness Church in Guyton, Ga hosted an inspiring “Homecoming Celebration” for returning members. “It’s like a fellowship for the ones who left the church and the ones who are in the church; we all just want to fellowship in love and come together,” expressed Church Mother Alease Roper, who also organized the event. This was the first event to start 2023 off in a positive direction for growth and unity.

Youth Praise Dancers  Keynote Speaker: Overseer Pastor Ernest Williams, Greater Love Center of Worship Savannah, Ga   Pastor Elder John Andrews, Royal Temple Holiness Church The Message: The soul-stirring message for the evening came from Psalm 34. Pastor Williams took his time peeling back the layers of spiritual darkness-- layer by layer. "No matter what you go through, I will always bless the Lord [Yahweh]", repeated Pastor Williams. Pastor Williams created an excitement in the air as he made Psalm 34 relevant to what people facing every day in their lives. He also shared a personal testimony of a recent medical issue he went through where he was unable to get out of bed. Williams explained how the doctor told him that "It wasn't COVID and not the Flu, but it seemed to have passed." Williams stated, to the enthusiastic crowd, "There's power in prayer!" This moved nearly everyone to their feet. Conclusion: This was a Saturday night well spent. In church with like-minded people who came together for praise and worship... priceless. If I had the to do it all over again, would I show up? Answer: a thousand times yes, yes, yes. I would be right there.
