It is hard to believe that almost two weeks have passed–careful calendar watchers may point out that it was really only 12 days. It is also hard to believe how much has occurred in so short a time. Two special Sundays, Bible studies, three baptisms, multiple responses and recommitments, lots of invitations issued and visitors present, a fellowship meal to honor new members, a new minister now in place….
Those are just the things that can be seen and recorded. The reality is that what has occurred in the unseem realms of human hearts may be much more important that the visible things that history will record. Jan and I have been doubly blessed–blessed by our dozen years of ministry at the Holmes Road church, blessed again to have served over the past six months in a periodic interim role.
If home is that place you go expecting to be received, Holmes Road is one of our homes. We look forward to being part of the celebration of fifty years in just a few short weeks. We prayerfully anticipate the future God has in store for this church. Yesterday’s sermon noted that in Christ God is Able to Meet Every Need. AMEN! That is the God we serve.
