Worship
We had a Mission Celebration this morning at church. As a church we have embraced the Acts 1:8 Challenge and the On Mission Team shared their vision. Our pastor explained each area of mission and we prayed for each area, we had a commissioning service for one of our young adults that will be leaving this week for Asia, and at the end, one of our men gave a Mission Challenge to our church. Each aspect of the service was good. My Ky even led one of the prayers! :) Then we had a fellowship meal together followed by a Mission Fair. But what has stuck with me today is something Ken said in his challenge. "Here's a need...your available...God meshes them together. No coincidences!" WOW!!! That is worship!! Our retreat this weekend is all about worship. And what I'm learning is that there is no mold, no formula, no one activity that makes worship. Worship starts in the heart!! And I'll stop there for now so those that are going to attend the retreat don't have to listen to me twice!

It was a great service this morning...I'm going to miss Cyr and her sarcastic praise filled mouth. =)
It really was a wonderful service. Everything seemed to be just what we needed to hear. I agree that Ken's challenge was awesome. I pray that our hearts don't fizzle out, but grow in strength and desire to serve in the mission field wherever it may be.
I hate to confess that by the time Ken got to the podium with his challenge that they had completely lost my attention. After 30 minutes my mind drifts and day dreams to other stuff...can't stand that about myself. I'm a dreamer.
Lori, what time does the retreat begin on Friday?
