What a Fellowship

I don’t know when, but somewhere between October 2008 and today a dramatic change has come over our Church. We seemed to have fallen in love all over again. There is a great sense of urgency in my soul as I watch with great anticipation the resurgence of God in the lives of our members. God is systematically becoming the center of our joy and the reason for our being. God is repairing the breach that has disconnected our connection. God is building bridges over which new and dissatisfied members are coming to the Lord. God is allowing us to laugh and enjoy the fellowship of one another. We are having fun and I’m having the time of my life working to build the best congregation that we can be.

 

Look around, children are running; they’re all over the place. Families are sitting together, worshipping together and taking communion together. Over 40 children participate in the Children’s Sermon with strong affirmation from proud parents and members. Young couples are getting to know each other and hanging out after worship. Older members are feeling confident that they’re leaving the church in capable hands and that the church has a future for generations to come.

 

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace of mind leaning on the everlasting arms of Jesus. This joy that we have, the world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away.
