Youth Sunday
Youth Sunday was such an incredible witness for me. The youth led the worship service, doing everything from testimony, scripture reading, reflecting on their Mfuge trip, the music, to even taking up the offering! At the beginning of the service I sat at the back. I wanted to see how people would react to “the youth’s music.” It wasn’t loud, in fact, probably could have been a couple of decibles louder! But it was different. Not everyone in attendance knew the songs, which were contemporary/praise and the lyrics displayed on an overhead projector. To the youth’s defense there were classical hymns played in the worship service, but done with guitar, not the organ. Oh, the organ did play during the offertory and doxology, but that was the only reminder of Sundays past. Youth Sunday was not about the youth, but about God working through the lives of the youth! To God be the glory!
Pastor’s Blog – First Thoughts
Well here we are up and running. There is still tweaking to be done, but our goal is to be able to communicate the gospel and have a dialogue about current events with a Biblical worldview. Some of the features of this webpage will be the blog, and the ability to access Christian content and resources to encourage spiritual growth. Guests will have online access to Azalea and take a virtual tour before they leave their home. Pages featuring exclusive ministries and functions of the church will be highlighted soon. I am excited about these early stages and can’t wait for more. God Bless You!
