Pastor Greg Fairrington prayed for Gavin Newsom during a fiery sermon Sunday while acting in defiance of the California governor’s public health order prohibiting indoor worship.

“Here we are in this moment right now and I believe that God is giving this church in this moment a greater anointing than we have ever had before,” Fairrington said in his sermon, which was streamed live on the church’s website

Many churches are meeting. Some quietly some less so. Some more compliant some less. The church is not just entirely rolling over.

And lawsuits are in the system.

It’s way past time that someone stood up to the satanic bullies.

It’s interesting how the left claims that ‘protests’ can go on because they’re protected by the 1st Amendment, but somehow church services can’t even though the 1st Amendment includes the words “free exercise thereof”.

Saw that Greg Laurie and Harvest now have filed a federal suit alleging 1st Amendment infringement.

The Calvery Chapel in a So Cal city that I won’t name (there are many of them) was as packed as ever yesterday, multiple sessions.

Speaking of satanists, some showed up at a nearby Catholic Church yesterday to harangue churchgoers. Saint Margaret Mary in Lomita. I do not know details but many Catholic Churches in the South Bay of Los Angeles are holding outdoor services, so this may be seen as an opportunity for the satanists.

Oops, pollywog already posted the name of the city of the Calvery Chapel that was hopping yesterday. I don’t attend that Church but got caught up in the Church traffic on my Shopping spree yesterday.

Scattered churches open around socialist East Tennessee yesterday, BUT pastors STILL not speaking out against mask mandates. God Almighty gave you an immune system AND an atmosphere to breathe in...USE IT!
