Different...?

On Friday I did something different...I led the worship and preached (as we recorded our first video) in our newly renovated sanctuary on Linden Place.  It felt different, it looks different, it sounded different than our former home at ‘the Barn’. I thought about those differences as Lynette and I traveled to the coast later that day. Not so much on how the new place has been transformed, although that could best be described as a miracle of hard work and creativity, but more about how we will be ‘transformed’ and be different in this new place.  Taking current Covid restrictions aside, I wondered if we would continue to be a place that was ‘open’, full of the joy of fellowship, focusing on ministry outside of our selves.  My day dreaming about this brought me to the conclusion that...’Yes, we will be in a different space, with different sights and sounds...but the same Spirit’.  Thanks be to God for all of the different gifts he brings into our life!
