I went to Floris Methodist this morning for the 8:00AM service. The senior pastor, Tom Berlin was in Africa participating in their mission CRC, Child Rescue Center in Bo, Sierra Leone. Pastor Barbara Miner did the service and preached the sermon.
Now I've got to say, this has been a very bad week for us, here in Virginia. It seems as though there are many students and alumni of Virginia Tech in the congregation. She asked for students and parents to stand, then for alumni, then those who have friends at VT and then those who prayed for those killed, wounded and their families. It was everyone in attendance.
Her message was clear. God knows of our suffering. We are his children. We are Easter people. She did a wonderful job. She was personal yet not offensive. I listened to her speak. Her words were comforting and knowledgeable. She held my attention. She made me feel comfortable being there and I felt at home. I'll go back again - even on another Sunday when she preaches. I just might like her.
I'll go back next week.
God bless you all.
