That Personal Touch

Hey Church and Others Looking at our site!
I am beginning to embrace these new ways that we have today to communicate with one anothew. I like e-mail, web-sites and Facebook. I am learning more each new day about Blogs and texting. I really don't like texting and then there is that Twiiter thing! Anyhow each of these can be helpful tools for the Church and myself. But, I fear that many are starting to let these ways of communicating to replace the best way God has given to us to communicate and that is with a personal touch. We can never let these replace face to face conversations, we can never let them replace the ministry of Christ. People need personal contact, they need a personal touch. And that is just what Christ did. and that we are to do. I love to visit with people whether it be in thier home, in a hospital or a nursing home. This past weekend I enjoyed the conversations I had with folks as we walked around the track at the Relay for Life. Whether those talks were with fellow Dutchtowners or friends from the community of new people I just met. Nothing can replace place those talks! Let use these new communication tools to enhance our ministry here at church, but may we never allow them to be a substitute for visiting with one another. If you ever need to just talk face to face and e-mail or a phone call won't do, lets get together and talk or have a cup of coffee together. I look forward to seeing you all soon. Pastor Rick
