Sunday is the Lord's Day, because Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week.Today, we worshiped Jesus with this group of people who supported us with their presence at our new and still nameless church's first worship service. Those pictured here may or may not become members of this church, but we are encouraged because God surpassed our expectations today!
We prayed. We read from the Bible together. We sang songs and hymns to God. We took an offering. I preached the first message in a series on I John that I'm calling "Making Sure". We sang to God some more. We closed by reading Numbers 6:24-26. After the service, we enjoyed spending time talking with one another over dessert. Simple. Church. Simple Church.
It's the first day of the week. Now it is our privilege to spend most of the rest of this week reaching out to unchurched people. Please pray for the believers pictured here to trust God and share their faith in Jesus with someone this week. Please pray for God to grow His church by causing men and women near us to repent and believe in Jesus and then by including them in our fellowship with the Father and the Son (I John 1:3).

This is really neat to read. I'm excited for you and the fledgling church. I hope God brings to you the people who need Him in their lives.
"This must be a fashionable party...it's drawn the finest of people."
Any chance to use a quote from Braveheart is a chance that must be taken, lest one's Man Card be revoked.
And it looks like Randy has the final proof he needs to show that Joanna is an angel.
Scott,
We have not met, but I am eager to get to know you more. Praise the Lord for such a joyful group meeting in your home. Celebrate these days.
Take care,
Bobby Dean
