Dear Church of the Apostles,
Hallelujah! He is risen!
I'm still thinking about our Easter service at Fairfield Beach and about the wall of windows that gave us the beautiful view of the water and let all that morning light wash over us as we worshiped.
On most other Sundays in the year we worship in an auditorium with lots of lighting, but no natural light from any windows. Because we have been meeting in this same auditorium for several years, I don't give much thought to the room. It has grown familiar to me and I've become accustomed to it. But since Easter my mind often wanders back to those windows...looking out into God's creation as we gathered together, sang, prayed, and heard from His Word. For me, this visual reminder of the Creator added a much needed perspective shift to how I worshiped that day, and I've been wanting another glimpse ever since.
This coming Sunday, May 26 I will get that chance. We all will. This Sunday we will hold our 10:00am worship service in the cafeteria of the Roger Ludlowe Middle School instead of the auditorium. There are two whole walls of windows in the cafeteria!
Join us this week and let's expect the Lord to shift our perspective so we see Him, and the glory of His creation, in a new and deeper way. I look forward to seeing you there.
Blessings,
Jan+
