My new buddy from South Carolina, Phil, reported that they had more than twice the number people in their church last Sunday than their entire town's population!!
Do you know of any other churches that can make that claim??
Best of all, sixteen people invited Jesus Christ to be their Savior and Lord.
Congratulations to Pastor Phil and good people of Pelzer Wesleyan Church!

    Well actually Mark, There is a little Wesleyan Church in Lamont, Kansas that can make a better claim than that. The towns population is 40 and they had 380 on Easter and average 230 regularly. As you have been faithful to point out, God will do His thing wherever people will let Him.

    Obviously these two little churches that could are not discouraging people.

    We know a church that not only wants people to leave but actually asks them to leave.

    There is a place for only a chosen few in this church.

    How sad!!!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
