A good day here at The Journey - a really good day - as we celebrated the 2nd week of Advent. Debra Carnevale and her granddaughter, Kayla, lit the Advent candle in the first service while the Bonneas and their grandson Aaron lit the candle in the second service.
Today was a good day for several reasons - the worship was good, the word was good, we continue to celebrate Advent, and we had a guest missionary with us - Jon Liles, missionary to Italy. Jon not only presented his field and sang, but he was a living example of our theme from Isaiah 52:7 - "How beautiful on the mountain are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation..." Jon and his family surrendered to go to Italy, and from God's perspective, He loves their feet!
We also had a special celebrity Bible reader, Linus, as he read the shepherd story from Luke 2. And the worship, especially in the 2nd service, was great as we sang "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Angels We Have Heard on High," and "O Holy Night," which almost blew the doors off of the place.
Our attendance was the lowest it's been in months - since May - we had 114 - but it was great day, and the Spirit of God was among us. If you missed today, I look forward to seeing you next week as we enter into our third week of Advent and focus on the theme of JOY.
