Dear Friends in Christ,
I am really excited for our church open house this weekend! We have an opportunity to show off our new sanctuary to friends and family and those that may not be able to make it for worship right now. Easter Sunday was amazing and we had a full house for our official dedication. This weekend event will be less formal - we’ll begin with a brief prayer service followed by an open house where people can come and go and visit as they wish. It’s a wonderful opportunity for people to become familiar with the renovated space or reacquaint themselves with the building. Maybe it will even be the first step for some friends, so that they can be familiar and more at ease to worship with us in the future.
Good friends really are a gift from God. They are a joy and blessing as we love and support one another through times of joy and adversity. I’m reminded of a couple Bible verses.
Proverbs 17:17 reminds us that a friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity, and Proverbs 27:17 says as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
Romans 12:10-11: “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Hebrews 10:24-25: And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deed, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day appriaching.”
My hope is that this will be a fun time for all, and a welcome opportunity to gather with friends and share stories. I hope to see you and your friends soon.
Lord’s blessings on your week.
