Janie and I have been enjoying watching our grandson, Noah, play some baseball at James Island High. A week ago, we saw a player hit a grand slam homerun, over the bases, bases loaded, touch them all out of the park grand slam homerun. Unfortunately, it was hit by the other team! Still quite impressive though.
Sunday, everyone that came to bat at James Island Baptist Church hit a grand slam homerun. The worship led by Pastor David and his team was outstanding. I can honestly say there was not one thing I would have changed. It was God honoring, Christ exalting, Spirit filled worship. Well done.
Then the mission fair…oh my, what a success. Another grand slam knocked it out of the park. Way to go team. The theme was so much fun and the mission information booths were excellent. Pastor Scott and the Mission Team (Judy Knapp, Mark Livengood and Susan Lowe) did a super job.
And then the food! Our Kitchen Krew is the absolute best. They fried delicious flounder for hours! Then turned around and prepared more for the Celebrate Recovery meeting Sunday night. What a wonderful meal. All of you were all stars Sunday.
And we thank our Father in heaven for the most beautiful day to have an outside event. The weather was perfect, no gnats…absolute perfection.
Have you ever heard the phrase “There is no feast without a sacrifice”? Ultimately, that refers to the great sacrifice our Heavenly Father made in giving His one and only Son. We enjoy the eternal spiritual feast of eternal life and blessing because of His sacrifice. Likewise, the JIBC family and friends enjoyed a feast of a great day because of the sacrifice of the many volunteers. Thank you all for providing such a day of celebration for missions. Great job…grand slam, out of the park, touch all the bases.
I hope you all were able to go home and put your feet up and enjoy a well deserved rest! Well done.
Pastor Tom
