Reflections From Sunday Evening

It was freezing rain and light snow. It was really cold. (Still is.) But for a winter day things did not go too poorly. As a matter of fact God seemed to make it a point to be with us today. Families were able to avail themselves of opportunities to study and learn. Many people found their way to the sanctuary to worship. Many gathered in the dining hall for a fellowship dinner. People gathered around the coffee pot and doughnuts and good conversation. People filled up the choir loft and led in music. There were others who led in praise. A number of people served through the ministry of hospitality. Children came forward and lit candles. A new group of people gathered for a preview of a new worship service. People came forward to the communion rail to pray. People gave generously to support the mission and ministry of the church. There was sharing of mission experiences through video. People led worship through our orchestra. All this on a snowy, cold and drizzly morning. But as always the Lord warmed our hearts. It is truly an amazing thing to join with others in the House of the Lord. It's been a good day. Be warm. Be safe. I hope you've had a good day too. steve
