Reflections From Sunday Evening

Wow. This has been great weekend. Nineteen youth and seven adults participated in a "30 Hour Famine." Ask Roy all about it. I know they took a bus trip from downtown to the east side of town. The interaction with people they do not regularly meet was good. We should all be proud of these young disciples as they grow in God's grace.

But that's not all. Church today was really uplifting (at least it was for me!). The music ... the prayers ... the children ... communion. I looked out at the various congregations today and just know God was moving among us and touching people's lives. Isn't that was it's all about?

But that's not all. We were reminded of Saturdays 2 Serve coming this Saturday. Kathy Cole shared a number of opportunities our people will have to engage in hands-on ministry. More lives are going to be touched.

But that's not all. The Chiefs only lost by 7 points to New England. 'Nuff said.

But that's not all. God is alive. I keep bumping into Him! A little boy (Brady) excited to serve as an acolyte. New people joining the choirs. People taking time to listen and represent Jesus Christ to those in need. People serving. People giving. People praying.

But that's not all. I know there is more going on than I realize. These are exciting days to be part of the Body of Christ. These are exciting days to be part of what God is doing at Platte Woods UMC. It's been a really good day. If you were in worship today I'm pretty sure you had a good day too.
