This past weekend Bonni and I were at Big Cedar Lodge on Table Rock Lake. While there we discovered two beautiful country churches pictured above. I have to admit I was drawn to the simplicity and the beauty of these two buildings. I began thinking and dreaming how wonderful it would be to have a service in either of these two amazing chapels.
But then it dawned on me, both of these buildings were empty, with the exception of Bonni and I and a couple of friends. As beautiful as the architecture of these two buildings are, they remain empty most of the time. There are people who wonder through them as we did but they lack life without a congregation. People make the church. Without people there is no worship, no music, no fellowship, no coffee hour, Sunday school, conversations, discussions, dream sharing, grief sharing, prayer.
Praise Community Fellowship is a congregation of people who love and support one another and come together to worship. We have met at Esic Baptist church, Glik Park, The Crystal Garden, and now at Immanuel Methodist. Our home is with one another and God.
And, this is the place we call home now. A beautiful place to worship!
Reminder, only one service this Sunday at 10:00am.
See you there! Love, pastor kent
