Wow my blogging time has gotten away from me!! Since my last post One Spirit has undergone nearly $100,000 worth of renovation and repair. A new sound and video system as well as gutter, paint, drywall....we are starting to look fresh and new again. Some ask why that's so important.
To me it is important that as a church, we are ready for people when they come seeking. My experience is that people searching for answers seek with their heart and navigate to a place of comfort. Because of that I think we need to provide a pleasant and safe environment for people so they find comfort first, and find healing of their hearts next.
This week I'm preaching on evangelism for the first time at One Spirit. It will be interesting to hear feed back as they listen to the 126th Psalm, one of the Psalms of Ascent that inspired the classic hymn, bringing in the sheaves.
It is good to look around at the grounds beneath the sunny days...fresh white paint, solid crack-free walls, new gutters....lights...finally spotlights on the steeple....yep, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood....
