Variety

   This past weekend I took part in three different worship services and one of them was not the one at Dutchtown! At a Conference I was at on Saturday, where I was a presenter, the day began with worship where we had a Charismatic, dynamic speaker who captivated all! When the conference was over we ended in a service filled with praise music up on "The Big Screen". A service filled with prayers and brief messages of hope. There we also had Communion. Then on Sunday we visited in our Daughter Mandy's Church where our grandson Ty was in a play. Very Heart-warming! But the rest of the service was one filled with old hymns, familiar passages, The Lord's prayer. Very Traditional in nature. Neither of these services was what we typically have at Dutchtown, yet I found ways to worship fully in all three. One thing they all did have in common was Christ in the center of all they did, which is right! Within the confines of our small little community of Milledgeville we have 5 small church. all of which have a variety of worship styles. None are wrong and none are completely right. They are simply a variety of ways to encounter Christ! For you who have no Church Home, there is one out there for you! And for you who do have one, embrace your opportunities to worship, remember to keep Christ in the center and as always, participate, don not just spectate! For it is in these places that we grow closer to Christ, if our attention is on Him!
