What a time, What a time!
Good morning Church,
What a time, What a time !!! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard. 4 states, 7 church groups, over 170 people
and the HAND OF THE LORD in our midst.
May the LORD ever use our Church to be a place where young people can learn to PURPOSE IN THEIR HEARTS to be seperated and counted for HIM (Dan 1:8)
I guess the part that got my heart the most was in the looking around the fellowship hall (They fed 120+ ) last night. and seeing a table with Hannah Grace, Jenna, Callie, Georgia, & Hannah Lee sitting together. Then I saw Conner and Caleb running together, both of them with the biggest smiles I’ve seen them have in ages. The Lord spoke to or smote my heart and showed me another generation in our midst that is worth every effort and expense. IS THERE NOT A CAUSE ?? I guess I should simply look at them and say that they are not my blood and don’t bear my name so let someone else weep, worry, and work. But we are not talking about a ball team, or scouts, or cheering, or some club !! SOULS ARE ALL (not a few) OF NEW CANAAN”S BUSINESS and BURDEN
Tonight @ 6:45 we need our Church to show up and meet, greet, seat, treat, and be sweet to our guests. They are someone’s child and have a soul that you and I are obligated to invest in.
We still need help today –tonight– and tomorrow– Please be willing to accept that 2 cans of beans 2 strips of bacon and 2 cups of brown sugar (or a bag of cookies) is not the extent of our obligation. We need HEARTS and HANDS and HOMES involved in the lives of these children.
The Christian life is not like a jail sentence. You do not got time off for good behaviour nor to we get released early w/ credit for time served.
MANY THANKS AGAIN TO THOSE WHO DO SO MUCH SO OFTEN. Michael
