We are so very thankful because 3 Christian women joined us today in our living room to find out what our church was "doing." They are already Christians, but they have had several sad church experiences, so they came. They encouraged us, the Spirit helped Walt take us through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Then he connected it to Communion, because of our need for the Savior, and the need for humility, and we had a simple Lord's supper, with a loaf of bread and a lovely silver goblet for the juice. The quiet and peace in the room was His.
Then later, Evangeline (our 22 yr. old) showed us a video of Tableproject.org -an explanation of a church that is COMMUNITY, and it helped us even more!! Pray for Christ Coastal Church as the Lord adds people that He wants, and as I meet with a woman this week who wants to work with us on reaching the poor or unchurched in Brunswick County.
