Slow growth is still growth! Over the past three months, Rechurch has averaged about 50 people on Sunday mornings. We've seen three people make a public acceptance of Christ and become baptized in the past three weeks. We're encouraged every day by the fact that heaps of the people getting involved in our church are either trying church again or, for some, for the very first time. It's hard work, but it's rewarding work. When someone meets Jesus and begins to make changes to their lifestyle for the better, it's amazing! I'm just glad to be a part of it.
This Sunday I had a unique opportunity. Hamish Taylor, Leadership & Teaching Director, took some time to be with his family after their second baby was born. Since Joseph Flammer, Outreach & Community Director, had just done the teaching the week before, I was up! So, I prepared a worship service and a sermon! Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about being up for the whole hour, but it actually went well! It was fun, but I'm glad it's over. I think I'll stick to leading worship for the most part.
