Embody Christ Fellowship
This is the name of our new church plant. For those of you who don't know. First Reformed Church is starting a church plant. They hope to meet in the Laketown and Fillmore Townships. They have very few churches in this area. Nearly 35 % of the residents are unchurched and they have many young families who are looking for parenting and marriage relationships. For now they are going to meet at the Lamar Construction building until they can get the church to grow. We had a potluck at church last night ( yes, during the MSU and UConn game , we taped it and watched it later when we came home, thank-you Chad ) and they did a service which represented what the new plant will be like. They have Lee Heerspink for the music , he and 2 others played guitar, and they had a drummer. It was more of the contemporary music, with words to the song on the screen. As my dad would say, it was the music where you just repeat the same thing 50 times. But it was very nice and I must say I had fun. And you know Big Jim loves a good potluck. Jim and Dana Daniels are the pastor and wife, they have 2 young children, Madalyn and Alex. Jim had a sermon about how we need to be the hands and feet of Christ. The verse form Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do " You can find out more about it at churchplantprayers@gmail.com

How nice. First Reformed does need to have a church that is more comtempory, services offered at different times and addresses today's problems.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Jim enjoyed the potluck.....I do hope you do not have another mgt Monday night. We want you to be able to see the final....MSU/NC.
MSU got in the final four, 4 years ago. Remember how we all watched the game at Fountain-view in the lobby where Mom was. I keep hearing her say...30-all, when the game was tied at 30. They lost that game
Carol, you have such a good memory, I forgot about that game we watched at Fountainview until you now mentioned it. And yes, I am able to watch the game tonight. Go MSU. And I am happy to mention neither Ben or Dan were one of the 60 arrested at MSU after the last game.
