I am really happy with the congregation Tanya and I have landed at while we are on sabbatical. There are not many churches in the US where you can worship together while a young Mongolian-Chinese woman, a young Angolan man, and an American who is the first in his family to be born again each get baptized; and then you get to hear an encouraging word about being completely consumed by and for God from Payton Poulin, a young man with schizencephaly (similar to cerebral palsy) who has attended the church for the last year and a half. This Friday at the church, there will be a benefit concert put on by newly-signed Motown Gospel artist Royce Lovett (who, like us, recently started attending the church) as he launches his tour. The concert will raise money to feed children in a Philippine village through the feedONE initiative.
This is a congregation which takes seriously its call to follow the Great Commission to discipleship and to intentionally model the Mosaic nature of the Body of Christ.
