Dear Cypress Street, Yesterday, as I returned from spending time with Julie's family in Oklahoma, I spoke with a gentleman in our church who has recently gone through much in the way of grief and illness. As he shared genuine gratitude for the incredible displays of love and care shown by our church, I couldn't help but thank God. What pastor wouldn't love to serve with a church who--while he is away--organizes prayer, meals, and workers to serve those who suddenly need it?! Thank you to all who prayed. All who cooked. All who helped unload a moving truck. And more. In showing how much you cared, you put the love of Christ on display. And that's what this whole wide world needs: to experience the love of Christ. I pray they'll ever & increasingly see it in a church that cares. I'll see many of you tomorrow night @ 6:30 as we begin a fresh look at Prayer. And don't forget we'll kick off a brand new sermon series this Sunday: Grace & Peace, Pastor Neil | |
