Scenes From GPC Last Sunday
Three things you might have seen at Glenwood Presbyterian last Sunday morning:
1. Trien, a Vietnamese woman who lives across the street, coming down the aisle during a hymn to place her offering on the altar and bow to the cross. Trien is going through what is a scary time for her and it has caused her to be very demonstrative in church. What is interesting is that it is sweet to watch but scary in that “what is she getting ready to do?” sense. Oh that we could all worship without wondering what other people might think!
2. Eddie and his young grandson on the second row from the front. Eddie was explaining to his grandson Jeremy what the symbols in the sanctuary meant and helping him follow and understand the order of worship. A great picture of how we pass our faith and traditions to the next generations.
3. Missy sitting with two very young girls from the neighborhood who have attached themselves to her since she invited them to come in and eat and go to SHINE a couple of Sunday nights ago. They’re not interested in her name, they just know “she’s the lady that invited us.” The simplest things can make so much difference.
Wonder what we might see at church this Sunday? I hope we see you.
On another note, please keep the transition team in your prayers as we meet tonight and try to determine where God is calling our church in the near future.
