Greetings Pastor Colby.
Today I attended the Midweek Worship Service. Since your web site says you welcome comments, I thought I'd offer a couple.
I was sad that Jesus' name was not mentioned once during the whole service. Not in the songs that were sung, not in the meditations that were given. (Buddhism, however, did get a couple mentions.)
I was also sad that the Holy Scriptures weren't read from. (We did hear some thoughts from a human author.)
Nothing that took place during the service was distinctly Christian. This is a sad thing, because Christians have Good News to offer to the world and to each other.
Peace on earth begins by finding peace with God, and we find peace with God through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We can love each other because, as Holy Spirit indwelt believers, God's love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
I would like to encourage you and your community to offer the harried and hassled downtown worker a Person who is eternal and soul-satisfying, the Bread of Life and the Living Water - Jesus.
Regards,
Gary Horn
