It's summertime, though technically still spring. We love this time of year. Sports are not always interfering with people's ability to come to church and our little church feels BIGGER with all the awesome commotion created by the little ones coming with their parents. We are just so excited to see more young families come from the community.
Community is being built here, within our family of God. Acquaintences are becoming friends and relationships are blossoming. That's what it's about. God's family being FAMILY!! We are watching little ones get to know each other and enjoy the company of more.
As we worship the, little rumblings or chatter from little voices that don't know how to keep it down can make it more challenging to hear the words of the teacher. I have appreciated the understanding from everyone involved. The respect given to let parents parent their children has been encouraging. Pastor Richard loves having children in the service so he is working on breaking his sermon into pieces that relate to both the older, more mature in the crowd and those in a younger bracket too. The rise and fall hum of the children reminds us that the Gospel is being heard and that people are coming to hear it. Let's embrace all age groups and realize what depth of maturity and wisdom can be had from the older ones, and the excitment and optimism that flows from the younger one's lives and mouths. We can all embrace what we bring to the community. That''s why I LOVE our church. MAC is showing me what it means to change, grow, support and embrace transition.
We are coming together and thrilled to open our doors to whomever is seeking the Truth, the Family of God, who are eager to accept anyone who comes to our place of worship.
God does not seek the perfect, he seeks those in need of Him. We as his family embrace the lost, needy and the broken We know the One who finds lost people, we love the One who mends the broken. The One who gives to the needy is not far away.
If you were wondering about what goes on here, just walk in the doors.
