Fun nights at church: Part 2

I love Wednesday nights at Church. We've been having worship services since September. The Praise Team sings and gets us going. Then we spend a little time in prayer. We finish up with a message. Forty five or fifty minutes later we head home. The time seems to fly right by. It's cozy and friendly. It's a safe place to share your worries, concerns, fears and sorrows.

We've prayed for people who received bad news. We have rejoiced with people who are celebrating. We've laid hands on someone according to the command of James and later witnessed and answer to prayers. The truth is that life gets hard sometimes and on Wednesday nights we've created an oasis where people can find rest, hope, encouragement as they meet the challenges. The music is always good and the message, if I do say so myself, is usually on the mark.

I especially like it because of the intimate nature of the group. We've averaged close to twenty people each week, with a high of 29. Yet, it feels like God has set aside this time for each one of us individually.

Are you looking to spend a little time with Jesus. Then come join the fun on Wednesday nights. You will be glad you did. Right now I am preaching a series of sermons from the Book of James. The Series is called "Pack Up Your Troubles."
