1. Last night as I was walking around after the meeting, I couldn't find anyone that I could talk to! Yep, all the guests who lingered after the seminar, were engaged with church members and were talking to someone else. That means we're doing it right, we're getting to know people and everyone is getting to know someone different - that's awesome! Way to go to those people who specifically got into a conversation with some of those new people - relationships will be the glue that will hold them to their commitment to truth. God is using your gifts.
2. I'm also proud of the way we've gathered around one couple who are getting married at 5pm tonight. Sean and Hannah have been living together for 4 years and decided that if they were going to follow God, they should make things right in their relationship. So, tonight in the Fireside Chapel, they are getting married. But what's really cool is the way people have come forward - to buy a cake, to buy the punch, the fix her hair, to buy her clothes and to help them with some of the other logistics. We've really come together to support them and help them to find their way as they seek to follow God. They didn't have a direction in life, now they do and we're helping them.
If you can come to the wedding, that would be cool. Turns out we have another couple in a similar situation have decided that they are going to get married this next Friday afternoon. It would be great if we can support them as well. I'll let you know more details as we approach that time.
God is good! All the time! I love being your pastor!
