First Church Year #5

What can I say about this week’s church experience that I haven’t already said?

Solid preaching from our interim pastor.

Worshipful music that leads to a corporate experience with God.

However, that isn’t what I want to focus on today.

I want to zero in on what happened after the worship service yesterday.

We had a potato/chili luncheon to raise money to send the youth to a conference.

It was fantastic to see the response of so many people bringing chili and potatoes to support the youth.

But even that isn’t what I really want to talk about.

Jan and I spent time with a couple who shared how much they led and loved the youth when they were younger.  Now, some of those youth are now having children and they are loving those children.  They also shared with how God has blessed them at different times in their lives.

We also got to spend time with another couple.  One of them is having surgery on Friday, so we have an opportunity to pray this week for them.  On a side note, they also own cattle.  Growing up, my family had cattle as well.  It’s great to get to know people who you have things in common with.

The bottom line is that we are truly beginning to feel connected in this church.  We love it and it is becoming home.

How are things going in your church?
