First Service

Yesterday was our first Sunday morning service. Mind you it was -26 outside, however we still braved the cold along with a good group from our home church in Alexandria. We had 23 in attendance in spite of the cold. Two of these were first time visitors from Barnesville. The service went well. We started out with family focused Children's ministry (the whole family participates in the children's ministry). Barb was dressed up as a hero and talked about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. There was lots of singing, moving and balloons. We then transitioned into Prayer and Praise. Ben, our worship leader, did a wonderful job of leading us into the Lord's presence. Then I got to speak on the topic, "What is a Christian?". After the message, everyone met in age appropriate life groups where there were introductions, announcements, prayer requests, response cards and discussion questions related to the message. One lady responded on her response card that she wanted prayer on reestablishing her relationship with Jesus.

My topic next week is "Why Jesus?". Please pray that God's word speaks into the lives of those who are in attendance.
