Have you ever wondered why some churches are
full on Sunday and some aren't? Well, of course, we know people become
ill, vacation, work etc. but I mean the overall atmosphere of a church.
I have the answer to that question. We had family visit us over the
weekend, our daughter Mickey (Boyd knows her as Michelle though) and our son in
law Dennis and they came to church with us.
After we came home, I asked what they had thought about it. Their very
first impression was they felt at home and as if they had come home. I had
the same feeling years ago when we first came to church.
They loved the choir and the joyful noise very much. They met everyone in
our church and were so impressed by our loving, caring family.
They were also impressed by the quanity of young kids and teens and their
willingness to help and learn about God.
Buck gave a great sermon and they were still talking about that in the
afternoon. They were most impressed and thankful because Buck offered
prayers for their safe trip home. Buck didn't know that the last time they
had visited, they had a horrible wreck on the way home due to snow on Canyon Mt.
with a narrow escape due to prayer.
They loved the fellowship hour for the fun conversations and getting better
acquainted with lots of people.
