Amazed

Sunday, February 15th, 2009, was absolutely glorious. We celebrated the baptism of a young child, and then welcomed over 25 unique individuals into the life and ministry of Colonial Hills United Methodist Church. The enthusiasm of the congregation was breathe-taking as we considered the multitude of gifts that these new members bring to our fchurch amily. We must remind ourselves that we can have countless numbers of elbows touching elbows, but the real invitation to true discipleship is to invite hearts touching hearts.

Following the 11:00 worship service over a 180 people gathered for a potluck dinner, and then the Rev. Sue White, Conference Evangelist, spoke to us about the importance of sharing our faith story.

I am reminded that whenever we gather in the name of Christ, we are sharing our faith story. Thanks be to God for Sunday, February 15th, 2009. I can't wait to see what God is going to do next.
