Hi Pastor Brackett,  It was so nice to hear from Sister Brackett the other day.  So much has taken place since we last saw all of you, but that's part of living in this world.  Sorry to hear about your dad and brother.  I know how  hard that must have been.  We also have lost our dad and my oldest brother, Bob.  I still miss both of them very much.  I miss being able to talk with Dad and asking his advice.  But I also know that one day I will meet him again.  Looking forward to that day!  Take care-- good to speak to you.  Hope to talk again sometime.  Your sister in Christ,  Brenda M. Harleson.

Garry and I were so proud of what the church has done since we left in 1982.  We will always cherish the years we spent at Matthews, 

The new church is beautiful and we felt right at home and so welcomed,  Hopefully we can come back to visit again soon.,

I enjoy services at your church. Truely the presence of the Lord is with you. The pastor is a very annointed servant of our great God. I am always lifted anf filled with a word at each service. Continue to be a force of strenght in Matthews.
God Bless

I visited your church Sunday night when you had communion. I have attended South Gastonia Church of God for almost 68 years (where I am a member). In all the years that I have taken communion, never have I felt such an annointing in this type of service as I did Sunday. God is truely blessing you and your church. I will be back to visit again.

Arnold Wooten, Sun Nov 16 2008, 04:55pm

Bro. Brackett, I hope to be visiting your church in the near future. It sounds like your church believes in worship. I would like to know if Sis. Brackett sang with the Jacobs sisters when they came to South Gastonia Church of God when Rev. A. V. Childers was pastor. They came in the door shouting and left shouting.

Latasha Cooper, Thu Nov 13 2008, 11:22am

God Bless You All ! Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the fellowship with your ministry. It was such an awesome thing for God to allow us to come together on such a great occasion. I pray that we do it again and that the fellowship continue and grows from here on. God keep you all, and I pray that HIS favor be upon you all in whatever you do. God Bless

Anthony and I have been attending the Church of God for the past 2 months or so and we can not get enough. I love the sermons and especially the music. Beth has got a voice that sends chills down my spine. Pastor Brackett has awaken something in my spirit that I have never felt before. I am so blessed to have found this church.The people are very welcoming and the Spirit of God moves through this place.

As an old member from 1971 to 1982, I always enjoy checking in to see how he church has grown and progressed since our days of worship and ministry there.  Old friends such as Randy & Barbara Privette and Carol Salsedo will always be in our hearts along with others.  We grew to love the church and have alot of fond memories there.

Congratulations for your efforts to build a new facility.  I was a member at Matthews from 1973 - 1981,  I'm sure that God will honor and bless all that you do to build His kingdom.  "Expect the best!"

I visited your Church on Sunday morning the 10th of July and felt very welcome. The anointing of the Holy Spirit was very evident in the praise and worship and the pastors sermon. My boy's and I have been transfered to Charlotte from Tennessee and are currently looking for a home church where they can be involved in a youth program. I am looking forward to learning more about your church. May God richly bless you and your congregation.

Dear Family of God,

We just love being a part of the Matthews Church of God and are so thankful that the Lord led us here when He did.  We look forward to what God is doing here and being a part of a wonderful, loving, and caring fellowship of believers.  This church has the absolute best in Preaching, music, and warm and caring leadership.  Pastor Rick and Gayle go beyond the normal reaching out, they teach by example how to love and serve the body of Christ.  How blessed we are to be a part of this family of God.

Pastor Brackett and Family,

I just heard of your recent loss of your Brother and Father. 

I just wanted to let you know I am praying for you and your family.

You and your wife are so loving and have such a compassionate heart and sweet spirit I

just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts.  God richly bring you peace and

strength in the days to come as you reflect on all the memories of your loved ones.

Love in Christ,

Jessica Ann Jones, RN.

Dear Pator,

I am extremely sorry for your losses, I can completely empathize. My Great Aunt died a few years ago and it took me a while to adjust to life without her. Yet the Lord helped me through that hard time in my life and I pray that God will be with you always and you will find comfort in him.

                                                                                                                     Love,

                                                                                                                         Adam Brown

 

Mrs. Jessica Ann Jones, RN., Sun Mar 11 2007, 06:11pm

I just wanted to say thank you to the Matthews Church of God for all the

prayers and the food that was prepared for our family during our recent bereavement.

The ladies of the church are so special and Sis. Brackett has such a sweet spirit and you are blessed to have such a wonderful Pastor. 

I cannot express in words my sincere appreciation for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Your church bears much fruit and I know God will richly bless you as you continue to do his will.

Best Regards,

Mrs. Jessica Ann Jones, RN.
