Faith In Music!

 
I'm an evangelist. I do a lot of stuff, but first and foremost I seek to serve the Lord in every way possible. Tonight we had a gathering for a young lady's graduation. Following the fun, food, and fellowship time together(about 20 of us with the youngest at 2 and the eldest at 60+)we sang Christmas songs of every genre. Laughing through many childhood favorites, and sharing the story of our Savior's birth in hymns that are very familiar. This particular group was one of our "all unchurched" people. We'll host groups like this many times throughout the season, not to attempt to get them through the doors, but as a way of sharing faith in a different way than we do on Sunday mornings. Amidst the singing this young heart was touched in a very real manner. She took the lyric sheets home with her, and I've got a hunch we'll be seeing her entire family in church next Sunday. Christmas is an opportunity to share God's love and make it come alive for people where they are in their life's walk. We had a wonderful time! The cleanup is done for the evening, and another day awaits to share God's grace. Sometimes the best sermons are found right in our seasonal songs of faith. In Christ's Love, Preacher. 

Dang, what do I give this year?

This is the real beginning of another week. There are only 12 days left 'til Christmas morning is upon us once again. Whoosh! what a busy time to be getting things together. We knew it was coming! Back in July we were busy enjoying summer and having as much fun as time would allow. Now, here it is again, that time of the year when we are expected to remember others as well as we did back then. Here is a hint that may make your holiday shopping easier...give a gift(no matter how large or how small, the best gift has already been given!), that you would like to receive, and you are going to hit a homer!) In Christ's Love, Preacher.
