A Huge Day
Dropped my wife off at work, got the coffee on, enjoyed the bible for a few moments and fired up the old laptop. It's Monday morning and the normal route on well on it's way. It's paper day at The Chapel, but before I dive in. I set and ponder the huge day we had at The Chapel yesterday.
It all started with a request by a sister church near by to merge with our church. Even though many hours of prayer, planing, and passionate conversations had been accomplish, I was still very couries of what the day would bring.
After a modified Sunday morning Celebration, we began our meeting, 40 minutes later, with many great questions and responses, our membership voted overwhelming to receive our sister church with open arms.
What does this mean? Well, for Good news, it means a fresh start and a new vision to accomplish. It means for Bruce and Betty that they will be able to slow down a bit and as they start the seventh decade of life on this earth, a well deserved slower pace is just what is in order.
For the Chapel, it's an opportunity to practice what we have been declaring from day one, to share Christ with others. The others, in this case, are some spiritual family members that just happen to be meeting at another location, but will now be part of the Chapel Family
For me, the time to advance is now upon me. To advance in my caring for another staff member. To advance in my communication skills. To advance in the care for a property that we have never had before. To advance in the new opportunities that has now come our way
I'm looking forward to this new day. With the Lords increasing help we will be able to make this transition very well.
Have a blessed day.
