Reflections From Sunday Evening

The year is off to a good start. People seemed to be in a good mood this weekend. There was well wishing. Happy New Year. The fellowship was a joy to behold. It was the church alive.
The church alive is engaged in worship. This was evident today. Singing praise, prayers, scripture, and communion. Hearts were touched by thr Living Lord. Worship.
The church alive serves. We were reminded of the number of people who served over 270 meals at 44 locations on Christmas morning. That is but one of the service engagements we shared in.
The church alive learns together. There are on-going classes. There are new groups being formed. There are new classes kicking off. There are new groups waiting to emerge.
The church alive is generous. $30,000 + was given Christmas Eve. We get to give all of it away to help others. People are generous with time and energy. The church alive excels in the practice of generosity.
The churc alive realizes we primarily exist for those who are not yer here. We invite people to come hear the Good News. The church alive reproduces faith in unbelievers, hopeful believers, and fully engaged believers.
This is a picture of the church alive. I saw her today.
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
