Here is why I
love my church:
A young man speaks during prayer
request time, thanking God for church—it is his first time here—and breaks down
as he adds he is going through a divorce.
Following the service, he is surrounded by people waiting their turn to
offer him comfort.
The sermon is ignited by the Holy
Spirit. Ephesians 4:25 – 5:2 comes alive
as we are reminded of the power of words and encouraged to use our words to
bring hope and healing.
A talented trio sings the special
music and the offertory. The medley of
old gospel songs energizes the congregation with joy.
The crowd gathers in fellowship hall
for coffee and finger foods. The young
man has received the promise of Divorce Care ministry, countless hugs and words
of encouragement, and a safe place to return.
God’s extravagant love is at work.
We were out of town and so missed this special moment. But it doesn't surprise me in the least! Our church is so full of caring people.
ReplyDeleteI echo what Dorothy said! Sorry I missed this special moment, but thankful to be a part of such a loving church community.
