direct hit

I have scored in my life what I believe to be a direct hit for my future and
the future of others. Since 1990 I have had to just "make do" with my
Church affiliation. At the second and last Church I attended , I was
offering to teach a "conservative corner" Sunday school within one month.
But now I am excited and growing like I was in high school or college again.
For those of you who have prayed, thank you. If anybody wants a place to
belong, please come along as my personal guest.

The youth and children's programs here are absolutely outstanding. The
Church is intentionally focusing it's best resources at that level as an
investment in the future of both the people and the Church as a whole. And
get this, Sunday school is so outstanding that 80% of the morning attendance
also attends Sunday School. The offerings at all points are excellent. The
bulk of lessons are prepared by the teachers at a level I know to be
exhaustive and exhausting. Everything is thoroughly Biblical on a level I
have never encountered. If one is considering seminary or Bible college for
ministry preparation, think again. You might avail yourself and those you
will eventually serve better here. I attend the young adults class, and
have received the warmest welcome. The teaching and preaching have
motivated me to excellence in all areas of my life. And the kind, giving,
non pretentious, understanding and Christ like humility of those I have
encountered have put me to shame.

Given the fact I have an extensive and growing education in the field, I
will offer myself for service the moment membership allows and the staff
deems of good effect. I have worked for some time to get my life in order
to make that possible, as about two years ago, I was starting to think a
fresh Church might need planted. But for the first time since I was in
college, I know I will find myself torn between the opportunity and calling
to teach and the desire to just sit and learn. Again, all who read this are
welcome as my guest. My telephone number is posted on my facebook page.
