Love Reaches

Even though we had almost 200 people less than last week at church, we had great worship services anyway. It doesn't matter how many people are there, as long as God shows up.

God showed up! He didn't forget to change his clock!

My sermon was "Love Reaches. . ." about how God reaches out to us -- regardless of where we are. If we're "hiding" -- He's reaching. (Gen 3, Psalm 139:7-10) If we "seeking" -- He's reaching (Luke 19)

Over 60 people responded to the invitation at the end of the services. It was "Time for a Change" Sunday!

We commissioned about 30 people from our daughter church in Minong, as they are launching Sunday morning services next week. They're running 65 on Saturday nights. Just over a year ago, we opened up an abandoned church and held a Christmas Eve service, Now, we have a thriving, fledgling congregation in a small town that is definitely over-taverned and under-church.

Last night, I heard reports about a beautiful move of God in our youth group. Our young people are getting fired up!
