memorial

My church hosted a memorial service yesterday for a friend of mine who died too young. 300 people showed up, and many stayed for a meal afterward.

My friend and his family had never visited my church, so nobody else on our staff knew them personally. But my colleagues spent themselves on the event just the same.

It was one of those times when a church is being and doing exactly what it was created for. It was a moment when you get to touch a real-life manifestation of the vision that often seems distant, hazy, not quite attainable...

Yesterday, I was proud of my church.

hello, I'm so sorry~ I never saw your comment to me on sept 18th =( until today~~ interesting* But, I would have said yes to using the picture as a poster. However, it's not really my picture, I googled it. So I cannot take credit for the wonderful picture. Hope the launching went well!! =) what is the church name? I used to live in Seattle... So, anything related to Seattle always makes me smile.
