New Church Training, Day 4
It’s the conclusion of day 4, and I don’t know what to say. It’s not that I have nothing to say, it’s just that I am still in “awe!”
I just came out of the commissioning service where everyone was anointed with oil and prayed for (yes, this is New Church Training for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)!). Everyone was in a spirit of worship that probably could of gone on all night! It was awesome!
Today, there were meetings by cultures, so the Hispanic/Latino(a) group got together to speak, and it was touching to hear testimonies and the stories of people’s journeys. Before this week, we did not know each other. But now we are leaving feeling the support and love from everyone. We were all thankful and excited about what God is doing in our Church, and in our lives.
When we all re-gathered, we heard a “report” from every group, and at the conclusion, there was a sense of unity and reconciliation amongst all the cultures and groups. I pray that this continues forward from this place.
The day even started with me having a “geeky” moment. I woke up excited about discussing New Church marketing (I think I even closed yesterday’s blog entry mentioning this. OMG!) It was a great workshop where we challenged (in a good way) with simple questions that need a lot of attention and work.
Well, I guess I did have something to say. I just wish I could articulate it better at the end of the day. Basically, there has been a lot of incredible fellowship moments and learning moments.
Tomorrow is day 5, the last day.
