I want to Praise God for our Church!

Today I really want to praise God for our Church! Over the last few Sundays, I have begun to realize the scope of ministry that is being accomplished through the different ministries at our Church. When God moved us from our wonderful Church family in Loganville several years ago, God planted us in a wonderful Church in Madison where we made some of the most INCREDIBLE friends a soul could ask for! God had a purpose.......God had a plan.......and God did amazing things in our lives. After three years, God had another plan......another purpose......and just like before........God is doing amazing things. As we have settled back into the Church that we have always known as "Home", I am constantly amazed at what God has done while we were gone. Pastor Ronnie was teaching in Psalms and during the message he spelled out how each and every one of us have opportunities through the Church to serve. OH MY GOODNESS! I knew we were a Church that was involved in Missions....not only in other Countries, but in our own.........HOWEVER, I had NO idea how deeply rooted and spread out we were! I almost could envision one of my beautiful trees in my front yard. I have a beautiful Magnolia tree in my front yard and it is tall, full and gorgeous. I look at my tree and in my mind I see roots.....large roots spreading out well beyond the tree an dropping deep into the soil. On the surface you can see some of the roots and they look strong, but those are not the extent of the root system. The root system is responsible for the incredible beauty of my tree above the ground. Those roots deliver water and nutrition that generously feed my tree and leave it in great health. I see our Church in the same way. Above the ground we have a healthy, bustling, beautiful Church, but it is the roots that feed our Church. When deeply rooted in God and His plan, His way........our roots grow deep and wide! It would take me quite a while to tell you all of the ways in which we are providing help to others, so instead of telling you, I will give you a link to the page that tells you how we can all find a place to serve! When doing Gods Will Gods way.......well, we can begin to change the world for Gods Glory! I am so thankful for my Church! If you need to find a great Church, I implore you to give us a look! We are not perfect, but we love God and we love people! If you have any questions......please feel free to write me and I will do the best I can to answer them! I am soooooooo thankful! May God bless you ALL!!!!!
