I wrote a post on I think it was the doxa blog and also the doxa myspace page talking about how much I love church, and the family/social warmth it provides.
Well this past week I have been eagerly anticipating Sunday. (Not saying "Sunday's are the only day i dedicate to God and the only day that builds me up") But I just enjoy seeing everyone, and being amongst them..

This evening's service, was unlike any service we have ever had. The sermon was 5 minutes, and then a 5 minute video was shown. But before the sermon began, a South African woman from the church got up to briefly talk about her 1 and a half years here and where she is off to.

She voiced exactly what I have been trying to get across in blog posts, about church, and she said it so beautifully. She said it is a privilege to come to church (when others are persecuted).. We can come together and feel like we are home in glory, together as a family of believers. The warmth and love just welcomes people in and they don't feel outcasted, and that is vital in churches; especially in England..

In a society that is becoming less and less a church going one. In the off chance that someone enters, they want to feel welcome, warm, loved, and immediately part of this equilibrium.

I guess I shouldn't focus too much on church itself, but rather on the founder and perfecter of our faith, but I thank Him, for the people at the church at Bradfield & Rougham, and to what they bring and offer to the church..
