This was just one of those Sunday's that you really since God's presence. Sunday Morning I baptized two more of our students, God has given us the priviledge of seeing lots of students accept Christ and follow in baptism. I love baptizing, it's just one of those major God moments in an individuals life and in mine. As our worship time continued we had a neat time of praying over the Operation Christmas Child boxes, I will blog tomorrow about how God preached a sermon through Ty (my son) with this. Then Pastor Craig preached a powerful message on the 10 lepers out of Luke and how only 1 of the 10 came back to Jesus. At then end of the service we had 8 people join and one by salvation. Just an amazing morning.
Immediately following the worship service we had a Operation Christmas Child (OCC) box packing and lunch. It was neat to see so many parents bring their kids to this and teach them the importance of blessing other people. It was also neat to see so many different ages of people represented. It was a beautiful picture of what the church should look like, young and old working together for those in need. I appreciate greatly the leadership of our Adult 4 Small Group in spear-heading our OCC mission.
Sunday night Sara and I finished up our discipleship class, "The Five Love Languages." We have had a great group of people in their for the past 8 weeks and have had some great discussions. As we concluded one of the couples, Jason & Sherri, brought in a small wedding cake and punch to celebrate the end of our class. It was a lot of fun, I will miss meeting with all these people each week.
I am so thankful that God is at work here at Beech Street. On a weekly basis lives are being changed for the kingdom of God, may we never take for granted what God is doing!
