Well, I can honestly say that the evening last week at the Clare Church of the Nazarene was a good one. But to leave it at that would put you in a place of curiosity.
What exactly did they do there?
That's the job I have right now... to try and give you everything in a nutshell. Let's see....
We sang.
It was fun.
. . .
But just fun isn't enough. If you're doing something just for the sake of having a good time, then you're really not getting much. As part of God's family, we get to have more than fun. And we did.
Before we went on stage, Ralph spoke to the audience a bit.
He talked about service. Exhorting us to help others.
What captured my attention was when he mentioned calling on the sick, visiting the shut in and elderly. Now the people sitting out there were mostly retirees.
That's what struck me.
It doesn't matter what age you are or how many years difference there might be.
What's important is that you care.
How much do you care for the people that are hurting around you?
We were blessed by the warm welcome we received when we walked in (and again after we sang!). Thank you all for your kind hospitality. And to the church ladies for the work in preparing and serving the meal! What a buffet of choices!

And the sound man recorded the performance for us! Guess what that means?
You'll get to hear what was happening onstage, too!
. . .
May each of you strive for God's best.
Don't settle for anything less.
He's given everything for you. Will you give everything to Him?
