Emmaus Church

Well…it finally happened!  Our first “public” service was a success!  Thanks to so many people who made it happen!  A guy wonders how everything will come together: the lobby, the kids area, the lighting and staging…what will we blow up?!  I’m thrilled to say that everyone did a fantastic job and no pastor was harmed in the making of the service! 

I was truly overwhelmed at how many people were excited to be there.  There was a sense of anticipation and excitement.  Emmaus is small now, but we are going to grow!  Not because I’m super-pastor, but because people genuinely loved being there and the arrows were pointing outward.  It wasn’t and is not about us, but about reaching out to people who feel disconnected from church.  And we did that well. 

We’re not going to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, but we are going to give God the glory because he is a God on a mission to find people who think they belong on the outside of the circle when, in fact, God is inviting them into the circle…we feel like we’re just a door.
