One week ago on Monday night we began our series on "Practical Thanksliving." We began the series with the emphasis on rescue. When a person is in a place where he needs rescued, it is beyond his control to do anything about it. If he could, he would do something. A person in need of being rescued must have outside influences come to his aid. A life that is separated from Creator God, is a life in need of rescue. All that is required for that rescue is provided by our rescuer. Our part is to understand our need for being rescued and take the hand of the one who wants to rescue us.
Once we understand the depth of our need to be rescued, then comprehend from what we have been rescued, our natural response is to be thankful. A rescued person is eternally grateful to the one who has rescued him or her.
This week we were planning to discuss what needs to happen after a rescue, that is restoration. We altered our plans and simply allowed the Holy Spirit to lead us in a different direction. Our prayer and praise time was spiritually rich and we simply sat in awe of His presence. It launched us into a time of discussing about where God is leading us. In the midst of that discussion a family joined the Mosaic family. Praise God who continues to increase our numbers.
It was determined by our members last night that we would move our prayer, praise, and worship time to Sunday mornings beginning December 4th. We will still officially launch our new church in January, but we feel God is leading us to the next level in this interim period. Everyone is welcome to join us. Our time is still being determined.
Our servant evangelism project this month will be providing dinners to indivuals and families that we have met along our journey the past few months. We are excited and feel blessed to expand these relationships.
Please continue to pray for this young family of believers as we transition into the next phase of our church plant.
