It was great to visit three different congregations yesterday. What struck me was the contrast in style. The morning was a gathering of largely mature people but with a cross section of ages and quite a traditional format. The afternoon was a huge number of families and really young children! The evening was a student gathering with some others along. Each quite different. Each complimentary of the others.
the essence of wider church has to be networking - dealing with one another in different circumstances all to the glory of God. Learning the skills that are transferable, simply admiring and rejoicing in those that are not. Jealousy is not a good thing. Praising God for what He has given us and looking for the potential in what we might be and do for the Kingdom of God - this is what matters.
