Reflections From Sunday Evening

The weather during the past few months has been rough on the trees in our yard. As a matter of fact we have lost four trees since moving here a little over six years ago. So ... last week we planted two new trees. Got an elm for the front and a maple in the back.

These new trees should have a really great future! They were planted and nutrients placed with them to help them develop a healthy root system. They are braced on either side so they will have the best opportunity to grow straight. These trees will beautify the landscape and in addition trees play an important part in a healthy ecosystem. I'm looking forward to a long period of growth and health.

We have just launched a new worship service at church. There are some similarities. Oh, the new service is certainly not replacing anything. Our church is vibrant and healthy. The new service - NEXT - is an addition to our worship landscape. We are off to a great start and trust the spiritual nutrients are in place to ensure a healthy fellowship. NEXT has the advantage of being part of a healthy environment that will enable it to grow strong, straight and healthy! New people who will come to Christ make our church even greater. The new disciples being made will certainly enhance the "ecosystem" of Platte Woods Church.

All the services this weekend were a joy. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
