Sitting here in the quiet of my office is always a great way to reflect on God's presence and seek him for His direction. We set up and fed 39 folks from Serenity House and I believe God was so pleased , we had 36 volunteers from our own church come out to serve who got to reach out, mingle and eat with our visitors.. It made it a day to remember for everyone. We had so much food we fed the 70 plus lunch and the entire shelter supper and I'm sure they are still nibbling on some of the food we prepared to be frozen for them. I'm reading a new book by Gordon MacDonald titled "Who Stole My Church". It will give any church member insight into why we do the things we do to become a soul reaching church. It is very well written and easy to read. I recently went to a meeting with some of our young leaders and we all got a book from the speaker. Boy I struggled reading his work. It was just hard to read and process. Later that month I mentioned that to our young leaders and they were experiencing the same thing. Its great when someone puts out a book that won't hurt your brain to process. We are adding the titiles from our Exodus project to our web sight. The Exodus project has been so great for our church. Many have grown and many have decided to reach out to their friends who this old world may have kept captive and bring them to experience the unconditional love of Christ. Hey M+M
