First Service a Success
We held our first Saturday night service on March 8. A sense of excitement prevailed, with many visitors enjoying the music and the message. Our attendance topped one hundred, a record for the last five years.
My sermon, Signs That You Need a Fresh Start with God, followed the life of St. Peter in his early walk with the Lord. He followed Jesus with excitement at first, but later fell into complaining and old, familiar patterns. It is quite similar to what happens to us when our zeal for the Lord wears off. We need a fresh start with God. This coming Saturday I will look at the next events in the life of St. Peter as I teach on the topic How To Escape the Pull of the Past.
Our sanctuary has been beautifully redecorated in collaboration with St. Matthews Church. The new colors highlight the vivid hues of the stained glass windows. All in all, this creates a worshipful and elegant environment in which to enjoy our time together.
