Sundays are truly exciting at Emmanuel! Yesterday's service started with video testimonies of 3 elementary children being interviewed about recently leading their friends to Christ. It was AWESOME! Noah, Taylor, and Ray... we're proud of you!
The music was tremendous, the choir did a new song, and a new men's trio was launched! The One Focus Trio blessed us with two special songs. Thanks Brian, Libby and Chrystal!
John and Melissa Bjorgen, our missionaries to Belize, Central America, were with us. They met with our teens that will be going on a missions trip to Belize this summer. They also gave a report in our service. Our church family helped them with some of their moving expenses.
The sermon series continued in James 5 as we discussed the correlation between sin and sickness. I pointed out that sickness and death were never part of God's original plan. Some sickness is due to Adam's sin. Some sickness is due to our personal sin. Some sickness is not due to sin, such as the man born blind, but gives opportunity to point people to Jesus. God is still in the healing business and we will focus on that more this Sunday.
Sunday afternoon and evening included the ordination of one of our staff members. I'll write more about that in the next post.
