Today was a culmination of a journey. This journey has had many parts and players who have been guided by the Holy Spirit to bring our church to where it is at now. As a disclaimer I am in no way attempting to communicate that we have arrived at some fixed point.
I hope our church continues down the pilgrim path to strive to be the church God would have us to be here in
Cocoa.
For years this journey has been walked alone by a dear brother named Ron. Ron was a voice in the desert for many years, well before I arrived. Ron’s gentle thunder helped to bring our preacher, Don, along the pilgrim pathway of grace. Then through various circumstances I’m convinced orchestrated by the Holy Spirit, many of the “old paths / old guard” left while many unchurched and new members came Central’s way.
2 years ago several of us made a journey to Nashville (no, I didn’t say Jerusalem) to attend the Zoë Conference. That journey of worship renewal culminated in our Praise Team under the direction of Terry, standing before our church for the very first time as they led us in worship.
I am so proud of Terry and his praise team for the many hours of practice and devotion they have put in as they attempt to take our corporate worship to the next level. I am excited by what God is doing at our church.
I know the corporate worship of a church on a Sunday morning shouldn’t be the only thing we focused on during the week as we live a life of worship to God. I just sense that God is doing many mighty and wonderful things in our members’ lives but it seems to flow out of them as we worship together.
Side note – It seems our District filter is not preventing me from accessing any blogs so I may be reduced to commenting in the mornings and evenings. I love you guys.
Barb and I start our 27th year of teaching tomorrow as well as send a senior to school.
