Of Crowds and Lesser Crowds

Missions Lunch was the place to be yesterday. Fellowship Hall was packed out with tables and chairs having to be brought in to accomodate everyone. I hope to see that kind of crowd in the same room next Sunday for the Day of Prayer session at 9:00 a.m. and the 315 Building room jammed for the 11:00 hour.

If you were not in church yesterday, I'll give you the same exhortation as I gave at Living Church. The Session established the Day of Prayer years ago to give opportunity for the congregation to pray together for the church. However good teaching, planning, and ministry we may put together, what truly matters is to receive the blessing and power of God, and prayer is the means of declaring to God that we depend on him and trust him.

Typically, the Day of Prayer attendance has been a quarter of the normal Bible school attendance. Don't let that happen this Sunday. Be there and join your brothers and sisters to pray for your church to glorify and serve her head, Jesus Christ.
