Mar 18, 2007 Sunday Evening

Sunday evening, the saints gathered in at the Courtyard Marriott conference room for our second service at this location. We were thankful to have over 50 in attendance, including Barbie, Bridget, the Hightower family and the Lavelle family from Indiana.  

Bro Dillow brought a two part message. The first half was focused on taking time for each other. He pointed out that as a family, we need to help each other in whatever way we can. The second part was centered on taking time to live. He brought out some practical points on the need to really take time to listen to each other. Being a good listener is a skill that we need to develop early in our Christian life as there are many hurting people who need to share their hurts with someone. Listening is a ministry that is very much in demand these days. He also expounded on the need to be slow to speak and to weigh out our words before voicing our thoughts. Finally, he talked about the need to laugh. The scriptures teach us that a “merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Pro 17:22) God’s people are a happy people.  

Our desire is to be a light to this dark world. We really appreciated the thoughts that Bro Dillow brought out. As has become our practice, the saints were participants during the entire meeting, including the time of the sharing of God’s Word.
