Sunday was amazing. We had a much lower attendance due to Labor Day and a variety of sicknesses, but the spirit in our service was tremendous. Brian G. led the worship (even though he was not feeling well). Brad was back on the drums (he was awesome)! We had several band and praise team members filling in due to the absences. We also had several guests, a sermon addressing the "works" of an authentic Christian, and a fun skit to promote the upcoming MOPS ministry. It reallly was a fun and spiritually challenging day.
There was a good response at the invitation and a couple talked to me about baptism and church membership following the service. Another family also expressed their interest in church membership. God is really moving in the hearts of people and prompting them to take spiritual steps. It's amazing what God can do when His church is moving forward in unity.
While we are growing, we never want to lose our "family" feel, so we took time to brag on one of our teens, Bridgette Smith, who continues to advance in the Hartsville Idol competition, shared the need to cut down a tree for a single mom, shared the need of a church family who is having difficulties, and bragged on several ministry leaders. Our church family responded like champs!
We had no evening service due to Labor Day. While we miss worshiping together, it did give us a chance to visit our daughter at Liberty University. We are REALLY missing her!
