Story: After asking my grandfather if he would write this and him doing it, I could not help but do the same. I have some memories of being at Narragansett as a child. I was very young, around 3 years old when my grandmother started taking me. When I was around 5 years old I remember having problems sleeping. I remember running around the house, while sleeping, yelling and screaming. I had fevers that were very close to being deadly. I remember like it was yesterday. It was the power of prayer that delivered me from that situation because I remember my Grandma being on the phone with someone from the Church (I believe it was Sister Jane) and as my Grandma would say, they were praying up a storm! What I am getting at is that the members of this Church throughout the past 25 years have been praying for me, believing in me, and I know they will never give up on me. They have helped me to grow in maturity, exampled Christianity not as a hobby but as being a Lifestyle, and always open there ears to lesson even during the times when I might talk too much. There is so much more they have done to help and here I am again talking too much. I just want to encourage anyone reading this that might be in search for a Church they can call home. I am not the only one who receives this kind of treatment. This is how the members of Narragansett treat everyone. So come an join us in Worship! Thank you everyone!

Story: I am the Grandfather of Dominick. My wife Florence went to this Church of over 25 years and took my grandkids Bobby and Dominick with her when they were younger. Florence changed into a different woman when she started going here. I lost Florence to cancer a little over 3 years ago after being married for over 30 years, and miss her very much. I have that same stinking cancer and this is the third time I have been going through this. My Grandson asked Pastor Holt to come to the house a couple of months ago and at 78 years old accepted Jesus into my heart. I do not know if that would of ever happened if Pastor Holt was not around. I never thought life would result to this, but it has and I thank everyone at the Church for being so nice to my wife and for helping me. My grandson said that he was going to put this up on that computer thing that he is always spending so much time on. I guess it is ok as long has he is helping with things over there. I love all of you guys. Jack.

Story: I lost my dad to cancer 7 years ago. Grew up in a loving Christian home. The grieving process was hard for me for a coulple years. But God never left my side, even though at times I wanted nothing to do with him. Gradually and over time, I came to realize that God gave me 17 wonderful years with my father. My father was a humble man. I saw God work in his life; at home, with his family, at work, or with his friends. His character showed it. My father never gave up, even in his last couple of weeks of his life. God gave him strength and courage even when he was sick. My father always had a smile on his face. As hard as it was to lose my dad here on earth, I know one day I will see both him and God and I look forward to that day. God has put family/friends in my life to help continue on. \"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.\" 2 Tim 4:7 --my dad\'s verse.

Story: I am Pastor Ken's mother. I know your church has been praying for my husband, Jerry, since his accident. A couple Sundays ago he went up for prayer. Several people were praying for him. When our Pastor and the Evangelist left to pray for others, Jerry said to me, "I want to stand up." He stood and took the wheelchair by the handles and looked at a six foot 2 inch retired minister standing there. Jerry said,"get in the chair." Jerry pushed him down the aisle and back, then me, then the evangelist. He had not been able to walk the distance of just the aisle with his walker without resting. God impressed on me that day that this was the "conception" of Jerry's healing. I testified to that in our church. For a child it takes 9 months. I don't know how long it will take for the fullness of the healing to come forth, but I know the seed of his healing has been planted. I look forward to seeing the "birth" in its fullness. Thanks you all for your prayers.
