Worship
Recently my husband and I had some time over in Adelaide with family. On Sunday we visited a Baptist Church. There was no particular message that morning, but rather a Video presentation by Rick Warren on the "Forty Days Of Purpose". It was interesting and presented well.
There are many people that do not approve of some of the things that he says in his booklet, but over all it is well written. I have been busy typing up segments for our own church, and although I don't go to the studies, I am of course aware of the content. Not all of it I appreciate, but it is still a good study. The people who have been going have enjoyed it and have been touched and ministered to, through it.
We were amazed at the size of the church building along with the surrounding buildings used for units etc. Our whole church would have fit into the foyer!
I mentioned to one gentleman that our church was very similar in our approach as this particular one, but was only 10% of the size of his. He laughed and said that our debts would be only 10% of what theirs is! Actually it's even less that 10% as we do not have any debts except for the on going 'normal' things like gas, electricity etc. and for that I'm grateful, there can be benefits in small fellowships...
