Minister’s Musings …
Can you believe that there is only 14 weeks remaining in 2007? My how time flies when we are having fun. I am becoming ever more excited about an opportunity to provide an alternative worship service in the months ahead. We will be meeting one Friday night a month for food, fellowship, singing, reflection, and prayer. This will allow those who have started (or are on) their spiritual journey to strengthen their knowledge of the transforming power of God we know in Jesus Christ. Our service will be “designed” around the un-churched wishing to become church. We will, more than likely, hold the service in Fellowship Hall and, prayerfully, offer opportunities that touch all of our senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, etc). I ask all of our faithful to keep this service and its participants in prayer. If you are comfortable and fed by our 10:30am Sunday morning service, then, by all means continue to celebrate the Good News in that service although all are invited to worship in this newer service. If you have friends or family that are searching and cannot make worship on Sunday morning, well, we have another option for them!
We are in need of a worship team to plan, evaluate, constructively critique, and assist in leading this service. A commitment for six months will be important. We need to give this new service a chance to make a difference, an opportunity to survive, the ability to become an outreach ministry of FCC, Bakersfield. If you are interested in participating in this new adventure in worship contact the Pastor or the office. Exciting stuff, isn’t itl
In the meantime we have the Fair and our sale of Karmel Korn - Thanksgiving - Hanging of theGreens - Advent - Christmas Eve, weddings and services to celebrate. There remains a lot to be done prior to the change of our calendar year.
FYI: October 19 -27 Kathy and I will be in Hawaii (on Kauai) with friends from Kentucky. Jim Pierson will be in the pulpit on the and I will be back on the 28th. Also, November 7 -11 (Veterans Day) I will be attending the DHM Board Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana [This is the ministry of our denomination that has called Don Shelton to serve as Interim President beginning in January 2008].
Blessings,
Alan
