Mission Accomplished

Last night's "Hallelujah Night" was a success. It appears that the community appreciated our efforts and patronized the event. Of course, it always seems like no matter what we accomplish we could have done a little more. However, I am very grateful for it all going the way that it did. We were able to make contact with people and families that we probably would not have outside of this event. Even if we don't see any church membership additions as a result of this particular event, I do believe that good seed has been sown.

There were quite a few of the members at "the ship" who stepped over and above the call of duty. It is a great point of progress to see such an event take place and I LITERALLY had to do NOTHING. Those of you who know the context of my Pastorate would have to admit that this is really saying A LOT. God is good. Even amidst the current challenges and trials, it seems like He allows an opportunity to get a glimpse of why we labor so hard. If I simply stay attentive to His voice, I believe He constantly shares with me small reasons why my labor is not in vain.
