Last week, we were excited to have some visitors at church on Sunday and Wednesday night. It was great to see some friends and meet some new people. It is so nice to have that love and support.
Today, we had more visitors at church. Some we knew. Others we did not. And some we just had not yet met in person!
Our sermon today was on suffering. It was a great reminder to praise God in suffering and trust Him. We cannot expect to understand everything, but knowing that He is with us will help us get through. And what a great opportunity to share Who sees us through. We had communion too. Again, another time to remember the greatest sacrifice ever given - God's only Son for us. It seemed fitting to have communion this Sunday following the 4th of July when we remember the sacrifices made to keep our great country free. We don't need communion or the 4th to remind us of things we should ponder on every day. But they are times to get us back on track and remind us what we often take for granted.
After church, we went to eat with someone Pete had met through his job. She was a delight and gave a wonderful testimony about her trip to the Holy Land and how it has affected her - during her trip and when she got home. I look forward to going one day myself...
Another great thing about communion today is that we had to add more to what we had. What a blessing - to not have enough and to get a refill so everyone can participate!
Have a great week!
