Church

It's amazing how church is thriving right now. We keep growing....and somehow inactive members are coming out of the woodwork and trickling back in. The texture of the congregation has changed, and that in itself is part of the reason they give for coming home.

We prayed for kids for so long. Now I wonder where these kids are coming from? And they're showing up Sunday night and Wednesday night, not just Sunday morning. There's such a sweet spirit when you enter the front door. You can feel the love.

The music program is so good now. One, no two, guys who we'd never in a million years expected to be singers, sound like professionals. Not only does each one sing on key, but they work with our superb pianist well.

We're a small church and we had set a goal for 40 in Sunday school. So when we reached that goal, the pastor and deacons had to sing a song. The next goal is 50 in Sunday school, then the preacher's wife and deacons' wives will have to do the same. Oh mercy, I will do this for Jesus, but not because I think I sound good!

And we're wearing the gazebo baptistry out! Still have two more waiting. I need to pinch myself but mostly I praise God.
