We had a very interesting morning at the church--Cornerstone Christian Fellowship. It meets in the 7th Day Adventist Church. And there were only 8 other people there, with us making 10. Bill told us that a couple of people/couples were out of town. But I think that the church is down to about 12-15 people on a Sunday with one couple bringing 5 to 7 mentally handicapped children with them. (They left the children home today so that Bill's wife who usually does a class with them could stay to listen to the message.) I think Bill has been a little too optomistic with us about the church--He himself says that he sees the 'glass as half-full' while his wife sees it as half-empty. But tonight at dinner he was a bit more honest with us about the situation (which we had pretty much determined after this morning). Basicallly, the church needs to be rebuilt since they have lost several of their original members. He said that the core group was pretty tired and wearing down--they need a 'general' to give the 'army' some direction and encouragement. Am I that 'general'? I'm not sure yet.
The church will decide next Sunday about whether to call me as their pastor or not. At this point I am not sure about what my decision will be if they chose to call me.
Please pray that God will give me clear direction about coming to help them rebuild.

We are surely praying for you.
Thanks Jeff - I guess the prayers just keep a going back and forth!
