We finally had a youth outing last night. I took the teens bowling. We had a great time. I didn’t win, but I did take 3rd place. After bowling, we played lots of air hockey. I went undefeated, much to the displeasure of those I beat.
The gathering was small. Some didn’t show, but I am expecting a lot more later this month. It’s a good way to introduce new kids to the group and the church.
Before bowling, we had to stop by a birthday party for a little girl in the church. I got a chance to talk for a while with her dad, who does not know Christ. Upon finding out that I am a pastor, he asked me about it. As we left, I invited him out to church. He said to me, “I’ll come fellowship sometime, but I’m too full of sin”. “That is just how the Lord wants you to come to him. Come just as you are!”, I said back. The Lord is waiting for us, sin and all. He’ll do the job of cleaning us up.
Today is Sunday, so it’s off to church. Pastor is in San Antonio for the General Assembly, and our Administrative Pastor is preaching this morning. I’ll be speaking in the evening service, so be in prayer for me.
God bless!
