visited a new church sunday morning - impact christian fellowship. i didn't really know this place existed until saturday evening when their band played at a "thing" held at clay street. WOW! is about all i can say. it was like seeing worship all over for the first time, like tasting the sweetness and power of God all at once, again.
for me the big driving force was that it was a piano led worship and the guy was amazing. now, i am always being accused of being a nathan follower so i don't want to make too much of it, but for me, when the piano is being played i am in the presence of God, period. the church was a lot like clay street, but with some refinements. these refinements are nice, but clay street is much more versatile and no one cares if you park a car in the middle of the warehouse (which i did once during a worship service).
i'll keep you posted on whether or not this may become another home for us. i say another, because i'm starting to feel more at home at many places and not just one or two. it may be that i have keys to 4 churches in town and not just one. the older i get the more i am trying to become focused on the strengths of each ministry and where their specialties lie. i'm tired of wishing that one place would be the perfect model for evangelism, discipleship, etc. just as i will never be perfect model for the same.
blessings, K
