Reflections From Sunday Evening

Is our music ministry great or what? Today was the Christmas Cantata. The choir actually did this three times this weekend. I certainly hope everyone involved feels great about the wonderful ministry they provided this weekend. Thanks to Walter and everyone involved.

One of the things we do each Sunday morning is gather in the prayer room to pray for our services. Our pastors along with Gene and Thelma Pease and Nancy Sitzmann gather to pray. Whoever is preaching that day kneels at the altar and the others gather round, lay hands on the preacher and pray. Today we invited Nancy to kneel and allow the rest of us to pray for her as she represented the entire music ministry. This is just another way we see our church come together and seek the Lord's power in our midst. I certainly believe our prayers were answered this morning!

Later in the day Curtis led a new member group as we got acquainted and talked about the ministry of PWUMC and what we expect of our people. There was a great group of people seated around those tables. Each person has a story of faith and has found their way to our church. I pray these and many more will find great fulfillment in the Christian life through the ministry God is inspiring and we are enjoying.

The temperature has dropped and it is cold enough to hurt your face if you go out and walk the dog! The Chiefs invented yet another way to lose a game. (I still can't figure out how they managed that.) But all in all it has been a good day. God has blessed us in many ways. It's been a good day. I pray and trust that you have had a good day too.
