Under One Roof Ministry

This ministry's first anticipation was to bring Christians together in an effort to build unity.  How would this be accomplished?  By God's blessing, the leading of the Holy Spirit and with the help of  praise and worship groups, testimonies, and messages shared in a concert environment.  Over the past several years we have come to realize that our mission is not just to build unity between our Christian communities, but to unify and strengthen the body of Christ and to share Him with all people. 

What confirmed this ministry was how God revealed Himself at the first Godstock.  I can remember talking to Pastor Rinehart about putting on a concert to help raise money for the new church.  He was going on vacation and thought it was a good idea, so he gave the go ahead and said he would contact me from the road.  He added, "What if it rains?"  I politely said, "It isn't going to rain." 

Well lo and behold the week of Godstock it rained every day.  A road had to be built so there could be an access to a field that would be used for parking and the field needed mowing as well.  Even though the odds were against us, we did not give up. We took adantage of every opportunity to get the work done.  On Friday, the day before the concert, we had scheduled to setup the grounds with tents and covering for the people, staging for the PA system and a stage with a canopy for the musicians.

All glory to God!  As we were setting up on Friday, it was raining all around us, in Stowe, Waterbury, Montpelier and Waitsfield, but the sun was shining on the location of Godstock.  Godstock was ready, the groundwork was done and everything was in place.  That night it rained yet again and the wind knocked down some of the canopy covering the band equipment.  Praise God the band equipment should have been wet but wasn't; there was no damage.  The next morning as the day opened its eyes, the sun came out and dried up the ground, which brought a beautiful day perfect for the gathering.  After it was all over it was obvious for all who worked the event that God blessed that day in a way that will never be forgotten. I am convicted that God put this event together because he wants you and I, all of us, to work togther to be a shining light for all to see.

This year the 4th Godstock took place in downtown Waterbury at the Rusty Parker Memorial Park.  Bringing Godstock right to the center of Town is what we believe God had been telling us to do from the start. To praise Him in the open and to share His love with all people was a wonderful blessing not just for U.O.R., but for so many people as well.

Godstock is a totally free event, sponsored by Green Mountain Community Alliance Church. 

I would like to ask you to please pray for this ministry and to also pray that the town of Waterbury will continue to allow us the opportunity to use the park.  

May God bless you and keep you safe always,

U.O.R.M.
