Church as it Should Be

We have been feeding about 1000 people from the Life Center for many months now. After all of these months, we decided to invite them back to a party. So, on Friday night we grilled hotdogs, had games for the kids, had nice gifts to give away... Over 200 people came. What a fun idea!

Reet, our outreach pastor, organized the event and preached to the crowd. Several decided to follow Jesus. Many came to church on Sunday. And the greatest part is--Michelle and I were out of town at a meeting. We had nothing to do with this highly successful event, but to cheer it on from the sidelines.

This is a great example of the church being the church. Church is not something one attends. Church is something a person does. We are a go-and-do it church, NOT a come and watch us church.

What idea is the Holy Spirit giving you to be a blessing to others?

Peace,

Stan
