After the Rain

As Sunday approached, I was excited to see exactly what was in store for us as we gathered to worship at the site of the tent. Due to work and back issues, neither my husband nor I had been able to get to church to help with the clean up effort. We had no idea what to expect. We drove up to find that the awning at the entrance to the tent, the front doors, and the back doors were the only things left standing. And, amazingly, the shavings hadn't been disturbed!!

Here we are socializing waiting for the service to begin.



Praise & worship time





Pastor Dan doing what he does best....preaching!



It's really hard to put into words how awesome it was to sit out in the open air, under the vast blue sky, seeing the beauty around us that God had created while praising and worshiping God, the Creator. I heard from Dan that more people commented on how they enjoyed being able to see the view while worshiping and listening to the sermon. It was great!

While this storm was a tragic blow to our church, it's going to be so exciting to see where God takes us from here.
