Pavilion Dedication Sunday

Here is a picture of the church I pastor (at least the people here on this day). We had a dedication service for our pavilion - letting God know it was his and we want to use it in accordance with his will. I preached on Genesis 22, where Abraham offers Isaac ("A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The..."). Even had the Regional Director from the Midwest Region CGGC present. Bob gave a nice talk to us outside right after this pic was taken. He said it was interesting that on a day when many people will be remembering DESTRUCTION (9/11 5th anniversary), we were celebrating CONSTRUCTION. And isn't that just like God - He rebuilds what we try to tear down. After the pic, and Bob's talk, I read the official dedication document, then we all joined hands around the pavilion in a circle and prayed. Then we went inside and had lunch because it was darn cold outside! Next week I hope it's warmer, and not so rainy looking, because we're planning to have the whole worship service outside. Isn't that a fine looking bunch of people?

Peace. It's a revolution.
