Why We Do Church
I just got an email from an NCCer that reminded me of why we do what we do.
I thought you should know something about your church. I have gone to church accassionaly throughout my life and on special events. But I have never been grasped and pulled to the idea of lets go to church every Sunday.
I decided that I wanted to go to church the first weekend back in January, so I went to your church at Union Station. EVERY SUNDAY since that day I have gone to church. EVERY WEEK I learn something new about the bible. EVERY DAY my faith becomes stronger and at the end of every week I look forward to walking to Union Station to listen to the service and sing the worship.
Today was my last sunday being able to go to your church. However, I will be listening to your service through the podcast program you and your staff have set up. I really just wanted you to know that your church has started me in a very new and exciting path to travel and I can not thank you enough.
It's so easy to become immune to the miracles that happen week in and week out. But I'm reminded today that we're in the business of changing one life at a time! And as one of our core values reminds us: everyone is invaluable and irreplaceable.
C.S. Lewis put it this way: "There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, exploit."
So I'm praising God for one life changed.
