Reflections on Easter

Yesterday was an amazing day.  After planning, preparing, and certainly lots of praying, our first Sunday with 2 services was a complete success.  Now, don't get me wrong, if God doesn't show up to do what only God can do, it's just an early morning with a bunch of people setting around listening to music and a south Georgia preacher.  But at the same time, we have a responsibility to work hard, and provide an environment that will be positive for people who are looking for a Christ encounter, whether they know it or not.

I was so fired up to see so many volunteering to serve in capacities that might be uncomfortable.  People serving in our children's area, people greeting in the parking area and on the sidewalks; people serving coffee; tables being moved;  breakfast prepared and served.  The RCC family was hard at work yesterday, and I believe the guest that came through our doors found our faith family to be real...

Thanks RCC for "getting it."  Thanks for stepping up so that people far from God could have the opportunity to hear the Gospel.  My prayer is that all of us will "act" on the challenge that our pastor gave to us.  Let's go be a reflection of our risen Christ this week.
