- Got back last night from a great time in Lancaster County with the family. That is such a cool place to hang out. Relaxing. And the way of life of the Amish always does something to my world view. It's hard to explain, but it's good. Great bonding time, too.
- Davis can now say 5-10 different words, is walking all over the place, climbing stairs, backing off of furniture and his favorite thing to do is to play ball. So fun!
- Church was great again this morning! Attendance has been low the month of January. Not sure why. But, unity and energy have been high. We have had some great services where we have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and for some reason the numbers have not sidetracked me like they would have a few years ago. I want to be faithful to developing and impacting who is there! I will let the Lord deal with who is not there (and making sure that the bills stay paid...sometimes less people means less money...not sure what today's offering was, but we have been low this month).
- I have always said, "numbers are not the vision, but they are a product of the vision!!" We look at the numbers and watch them, but they do not always define the health of where we are.
- We are hosting Safe Haven homeless ministry at the church all week. Pray for this to be a time of great ministry to the men that will be sleeping in our facility.

Beautiful morning and a wonderful service! Glory to God for His presence that was very strong this morning. Keep it up! MOM
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly was a special time of worship. One of those moments you want to freeze and see again many times.
ReplyDeleteTo God Be The Glory, Great Things He has done! What a wonderful morning it was! I didn't hear the rocks this morning. To quote a wonderful song, "Once again I looked upon the cross where He died, I was humbled by His presence and I was broken inside and Once Again I thanked Him and Once Again I poured out my life." That was our Worship Service this morning. At a grand level we were able to look at ourselves through Jesus' eyes and Worship Him, knowing that we are not worthy of His Grace and enter humbly into His Presence and Worship Him. A token to say Thank you to His Majesty. I am so glad to be in the number and able to Fellowship & Worship at CCF. I praise God for you Pastor Noah and your family. Halleluah!!!
ReplyDeleteOh-Oh did I get too churchy LOL :-) UCJ
