Sunday Services

Many things go on in a life. Jeff and I find that most of our catch up time happens at church on Sunday. We also find that if we are serving during the service then we really don’t see and enjoy the service. Last weekend was a great example. Jeff and I usually take the first 10 minutes of service to make sure there are no last minute duties that need to be done or people to be seated. I really needed to talk with my friend Sara about a certain situation and was not able to stay in the service. During that time people who were walking around joined us in our discussion. Now not realizing it but Mike was walking around because he was done preaching and asked the few of us if we go to church. Not thinking I just say yes and left it at that. A little later in the day I was talking with Jeff and we realize that most of the time people see us at church either running around or talking with someone whether it is during the service or after and not actually see us sit in service. At that point Jeff and I decided to attend church either before or after the service we are helping at. We feel that people need to know that we listen and participate with the service and not just show up to help. This will mean Breann will stay in the nursery longer but I am sure she doesn’t mind since they have more toys then she knows what to do with.
