The last few weeks have been a blur! Maundy Thursday, Easter, Children’s parties, Associational Senior Adult Activities, Leadership Retreat: they have all been a part of my last few weeks. I have had times of encouragement, moments of reflection, joyful activities, and difficult decisions. You know, it sounds a lot like life in general doesn’t it? We all have ebb and flow, joy and sorrow, excitement and boredom. The key is to not allow the events of our life to govern the attitudes of our life. God is great even in the midst of my difficulties! God is gracious on good days as well as bad. Knowing that, I am excited about some of the new challenges that He has laid out in front of us.
April 27th will be a banner day in the history of the church I pastor. We will be moving our morning services to our new church property. It is currently a wide open corn field, but we hope to very soon see facilities where we can reach out to our community. We are being faithful to the decision made by the church quite some time ago to follow God’s leading to a new location. We will have a great time of worship, prayer, vision casting, and commitment. There will be an excitement in the air as we step out in faith to see how God is going to do this amazing work!
It is my hope that as we seek God’s vision, we will fulfill His call on our lives to “Help people connect with Christ, and grow deeper in their Faith”!
Have any of you been through a process like this before? Have you had a “special sunday” at a bare property? Was there something about that service that was especially meaningful? I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as we plan for this awesome day!
