Commissioning Service

This Saturday we are having our Commissioning Service for our Romania trip at 6:00 p.m. at 43437 Gadsden Ave in Lancaster. I wanted to share a little excerpt of what we will be doing that night. This briefly talks about why we are going to Romania one week from today!

As we get started I wanted you to know that you are not here tonight by accident. This trip started 8 years ago when Pastor Dudley Rutherford challenged the entire church to go on a Mission trip...even to a foreign country. So in the summer of 2002 I had the privilege of spending 3 weeks in Romania with the Schintee family...a family that will forever be near to my heart. One week we spent with their family, just getting to know the Romanian people. Another week we toured the country, seeing some of the most beautiful castles and monasteries in the world. But the third week we were able to work at a camp for Middle School students and we met the most incredible kids you will ever meet! And it was the people we met that made this trip so special.

So in the end of 2007 as we were beginning to plant this church in Lancaster, we had a dream to go back to Romania by the summer of 2010. By then our church and our youth group would be established and we would be ready for a major trip like this!

But then something bad happened...

Well, that's all you are getting for now! :-) Please come to the Commissioning Service this Saturday to hear the rest of the story. I promise you will be blessed if you come! We will be worshipping God in TWO languages!
