Slickery Sunday

This past Sunday was cool in more than one way. Temperature wise it was actually freezing. So freezing that our gracious hosts at Ambridge High School unable to get the parking lot de-iced in time for our service at 10:30. But Sunday was also cool in a sense other than temperature. Rather than cancel our worship service, we decided to on-the-spot move it to 11:00 at our Ministry Center facility down the street for anybody who was able to make it.

To be honest, I was not expecting much of a turnout on a day when they closed some of the parkways in Pittsburgh. To my pleasant surprise we nearly packed the place out with people eager to worship God together. Makes me proud to be part of such passionate, amazing church.

I love being part of a church that is that is willing to roll with the punches (or the ice) and find a way to worship together in inconvenient conditions. That being said, I’m also happy for the rest of our church family that either couldn’t make it out of their driveway or didn’t want to risk dying on the way. We are so glad that you are alive and safe! You were with us in spirit

I guess I’m saying all this to say I had a lot of fun Sunday. Yeah it was different, yeah it was cold, but we made it work and God’s presence was with us. I love my church family and can’t wait until next Sunday when we can all gather again at the school to raise our praise together and receive the Word of God. ‘Till then, stay warm!
