Here is the Church. Here ...

I can only recall one other Sunday like today, but that was at least 10 years ago. It was one of those Sundays when you look at the congregation and wonder if you are in the right church. I honestly believe that half the auditorium was filled with visitors. We had 3 families re-visiting as well as 3 first time visiting families. There were visitors that brought other visitors. Oh, and every family had kids! Our junior churches where busting at the seams.

We have a few evangelistic out-reach programs in the works, but not a single visitor in the last three weeks has been a result of anything we have done though any out-reach. There was one family invited by a young lady from NTBC, and also any other family that heard about us from a military fellow that PCS'd nearly a year ago.  I know that we need to do the work of the ministry, but there are times when God just does things.  It is humbling to realize that God can do more to bring in visitors in one service then we can do in an entire summer.

I will continue to work, but I must also remember that God can "do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think."  Oh, by the way, and we have no steeple, but God still brings the people!  God is so good.
