Many blessings today in Iraan

Our hearts (and bodies) were filled with good things this morning in Iraan! A small but appreciative group gathered in the fellowship hall for our monthly breakfast potluck. Deanna Jordan wowed the group with a breakfast dessert that was out of this world!!!

Our worship service was a blessing too with two young ushers lending a hand. As part of his sermon (Romans 8:26-39), Pastor Charles shared the conclusion of John Wesley's sermon, "On Predestination" - "What is it, the, that we learn from this whole account? It is this, and no more: (1) God knows all believers; (2) wills that they should be saved from sin; (3) to that end, justifies them; (4) sanctifies and (5) takes them to glory. O that men would praise the Lord for this his goodness; and that they would be content with this plain account of it, and not endeavor to wade into those mysteries which are too deep for angels to fathom."

This afternoon at the McCamey convalescent center, a large group worshipped together in loving example of Christian community. What a blessing it is to come each week and be blessed by these senior members of our faith community!
