What a week. Children and VBS and all of the activities of the church. Being the pastor of a mid-size church can be overwhelming at times but the spiritual presence is great. Adult leaders who step up and make a difference, youth who want to be involved and hearing the voices of children raised in praise makes a great lifting of the soul. The children participated in a great ministry of the church called Martha's Table which makes sandwiches for the homeless once a month. This past month there were 5,555 sandwiches made with the children helping and it was wonderful. I had a youth council meeting on Sunday where the youth leadership expressed their desire to be a more active part of worship. Praise God for that. We have systems issues to overcome but what a difference when the people desire to be Disciples. We will become a family in short order, God willing, and when we do I can only imagine what we can do.
