I started praying over a year ago
in January about the launch of a new service for Gaines to reach “un-churched” people, and to make new
disciples. In January, of this year my
prayer intensified hoping to launch this service by the end of the 1st
quarter but for various reasons we were not ready. On last Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 8:40AM
in the morning at long last the new season and journey begun.
One of the songs sung by the
emerging praise band was “New Season” by Israel Houghton. This resounds as a potential anthem to
describe God’s new thing in Madisonville.
I have a lot of reasons why I am excited and full of joy over this new
worship launch; and here are a few:
- It was good to see a young recent college graduate who grew up in the church sing with energy the light of Christ.
- It was good to see that college graduates’ friend (who was invited to the church two weeks ago) join her in singing praises to God.
- It’s good to see some senior members embrace and share their excitement over the energy, joy and positive mood present throughout the gathered worship and fellowship that followed.
- It was good and simply amazing to have eight (8) people respond to the invitation to Christian Discipleship.
The Conversation with God series is
getting rave review. I can’t wait to see
how God will show up and surprise us this week.
Come and see.
